How can one expect investment to flow if one cannot get a film released: Kejriwal

New Delhi, Jan 24: Reacting to the several state governments citing security threats as reasons for not releasing 'Padmaavat' in theatres, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday took a dig at the Centre by saying that how can the government expect investment to flow, if it cannot get a film released and run it safely.

"If all state govts, central govt and SC together cannot get one movie released and run safely, how can we expect investments to flow in? Forget FDI, even local investors wud feel hesitant. Not gud for already dwindling economy. Bad for jobs," Mr Kejriwal said in a tweet.
The CM's reaction comes amid protests by the Karni Sena across the country, demanding stay on the release of 'Padmaavat'.
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, 'Padmaavat' is an epic period drama film which stars Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as Maharaja Rawal Ratan Singh, and Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji.
The movie is based on the epic poem 'Padmavat' (1540) by Malik Muhammad Jayasi narrating the story of Padmavati, a Rajput queen who committed jauhar to protect herself from Khilji.
The flick is set to hit the theatres on January 25. UNI
