The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) today said that, without watching the controversial film "Padmavati", it would not take any action on the same whose release is being opposed by certain organisations.
Amey Khopkar, president of MNS Chitrapat Sena, the film wing of the Raj Thackeray-led party, today issued a video to clarify the outfit's stand on the Sanjay Leela Bhansali- directed movie, scheduled to release on December 1.
"We are of the opinion of not opposing the movie without watching it. We are not going to do it that way. I am aware of some social organisations and political parties opposing the movie, but we would like to first see it.
"If we find some part objectionable, we can hold a meeting with the director (Bhansali)," it said.
Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Mumbai Ram Kadam said the film's just released trailer had "hurt" the sentiments of a section of people.
Addressing to a press conference, he said, "Nobody has a right to play with history. The trailer has hurt the sentiments of some people and Bhansali will have to respect their feelings".
The MLA from Ghatkopar (West) assembly segment said he was the chairman of the Film Studios Setting and Allied Mazdoor Sangh, which he said, will not work with Bhansali in his next venture as a mark of protest.
"If Bhansali cannot respect people's sentiments, then he will not be able to shoot for his next film here. My union is very strong and we will not cooperate with him," the BJP MLA warned.
The Rajasthan-based Shri Rajput Karni Sena is spearheading protests against the film, claiming it "distorts" historic facts.

She just wore a silver Manish Malhotra saree with those emerald earrings.
Nita Ambani arrived at Manish Malhotra's Diwali party and essentially broke fashion. Everyone else was present and looking great, but then there was her bag. That Hermès number is not something you see every day, or ever, really. It is the Sac Bijou, a thing so exclusive it makes a standard Birkin look common.

What is special about the bag?
The Hermès Sac Bijou is only made three ever. Every detail was carefully conceived by Pierre Hardy back in 2012. With 3,025 diamonds weighing a total of 111 carats, its purpose is not to hold essentials. Instead, it transforms the wearer’s arm into a dazzling showcase.
Nita chose a razor sharp silver sequin saree from Manish Malhotra. There was no heavy embroidery, just clean lines and a great deal of sparkle to match the bag's feel. She then added those heart shaped Colombian emerald earrings, which were absolute units of gemstones, and a matching bracelet. The overall effect was pure casual flex. It was a statement, suggesting: "Oh, this old thing? Just a typical Tuesday night out."
But why does anyone care about a bag that is practically useless?
That is the whole point. It is not about utility; it is about spectacle. In the world of high fashion, this is the peak. It is a piece of art that you wear. The bag was not part of the outfit. It was the outfit. The entire ensemble felt like a massive understatement, which is remarkable to say.
No. Of course, you cannot. That is not the point. That is what makes it so brilliant. It is a power move. It is a conversation piece that instantly wins the conversation. When the value of your bag could buy an entire row of houses, it stops being an accessory. It becomes a landmark, like a statement of arrival without saying a word. And for an event like the Diwali bash, where everyone is trying to make a statement, that was hers. Game over.
