Union minister Thawar Chand Gehlot today said the Central Board of Film Certificate (CBFC) should cut "objectionable" scenes in the Bollywood film "Padmavati" whose release is being opposed by certain Rajput groups.

The BJP leader said "anger is palpable" in the country against the period drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

"Anger is palpable in the country over this movie (Padmavati). History is distorted to enact filmy scenes which should be taken seriously by the censor board," he said.
