A member of India's Hindu nationalist ruling party offered a $1.5 million bounty Sunday for anyone who beheads the lead actress and the director of a yet-to-be released Bollywood film that's sparked controversy for depicting a romance between a Hindu queen and Muslim ruler.
Suraj Pal Amu, a Bharatiya Janata Party leader from the northern state of Haryana, offered the bounty against actress Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali...
The movie "Padmavati" is based on a 16th century Sufi epic poem, "Padmavat," a fictional account of a brave and beautiful Rajput queen who chose to kill herself rather than be captured by the Muslim sultan of Delhi, Allaudin Khilji...
Padukone plays the role in the film of Padmini, the legendary queen who committed "jauhar," the medieval Rajput practice in which women of royal households walked into funeral fires to embrace death over the dishonor of being taken captive.
...Most of the anger at the film appears to stem from allegations that Bhansali distorted history by filming a romantic dream sequence between the film's main protagonists. Bhansali has denied the allegations.

Probably not what you're thinkin'...
Nothing to see here, folks.
Just remember it’s Christianity that’s the problem.
Sufism is to Hinduism and Islam was bisexuality is to, well, every other kind of sexuality.
BTW, am I to understand that I have to be the first to mention that Deepika Padukone is smokin' hot?
She is not guilty
The mask slips, and briefly reveals the true face of the BJP.
C.f. “Babri Masjid”.
Also, Deepika Padukone looks almost exactly like my wife’s sister, except Deepika is a little taller.
My expression is, “Works for me”
This man is looking to contract a hit ona female actress?
As Hollywood leads the global community in sexual harassment, sister industries in other nations have more deadly repercussions to manage.
Unfortunately, their society imposes on the female to be the moral arbiter and scape goat.
Wonder why the same amount of money wasn’t offered for the death of the male lead?
Yes, and as we go to the swimsuit competition I will be watching the candidate very closely!
Soliciting murder is a crime.
Jail him - kill his followers if they riot.
More CMs join anti-Bhansali chorus and express angst against film ‘Padmavati’.

The movie may or may not have this in it. The Hindu nationalist loonatic should be arrested.
While I am glad that the Hindus got some backbone against creeping jihad in their society (150 million muzzies live in India, roughly 1 out of 7 of the scuzzies of the world), he needs to be censured. Oh, and I want to sleep with that actress.
