Based on Padmavat by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi, the film had sparked a major controversy at the time of its release, with several Rajput outfits taking offense over the portrayal of Queen Padmavati. In 2017, Bhansali was slapped and assaulted by the members of Karni Sena who staged an angry protest at Jaigarh Fort in Jaipur, where he was shooting the film.
