With all the controversies ensuing over the release of 'Padmavati', it seems Sanjay Leela Bhansali would not be able to take a sigh of relief anytime soon.

Arjun Gupta, a member of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, came out strongly against Bhansali and said that the filmmaker should be tried for treason for making such movies.

“I have written a letter to Giriraj Singh and asked him to take strict action against Bhansali and he should be tried for treason,” Gupta said.

Gupta also noted that it has become a habit of Bhansali to tamper with historical facts in his movies, citing the example of ‘Bajirao Mastani’.
