After upholding the flag of victory against the fringe by garnering 24 crores (19 crore day one and 5 crores from paid previews), the makers of the magnum opus PADMAAVAT are geared up to fight the menace of the ugly piracy.

With an urge to viewers to not resort to illegal means/platforms/websites and to watch film in theaters and multiplexes, Viacom18 Motion Pictures & Bhansali Productions are taking adequate measures to ensure that the film is not being recorded and distributed illegally across social and digital platforms.

The producers are urging viewers and fans of the film to show their solidarity for the film which has faced enough challenges and to not watch film on illegal platform or through unauthorized means but only across theaters and multiplexes to enjoy this masterpiece.

Viacom18 has also sought John Doe order from Madras High Court against any person or entity infringing the said film and directing all concerned to immediately block illegal websites/URL’s hosting content related to the film.

Viacom18 has also filed a complaint with cybercrime of Maharashtra unit for necessary action against the person who have committed the offence of copyright infringement. In their Complaint, Viacom18 has requested cyber police to take immediate action against all concerned involved in the offence of copyright infringement of the film in any manner.

From the confirmation of stars love affairs to credit to the fringe, following are the changes in the Indian constitution that Bollywood needs desperately on the eve of India’s 69th Republic Day says producer, director and writer Mani Kapoor. Read further to know what the filmmaker said to a reporter in a juicy interview.

Beep Beep (no it's not our dear CBFC – Censor Board of Film Certification spoiling the fun, its adman turned lyricist Prasson Joshi now at the helm of affairs so not much fikar (bother). It’s the door- bell of blockbuster film producer Mani Kapoor.

Its evening time and Mani Kapoor has just returned from watching PADMAVAT, he opens the door. Clad in jeans, short kurta ‘star' reporter of ‘Filmy Imli’ makes a probing entry. Gazing through the surroundings first, the star reporter then offers his greetings and an interesting conversation begins over whiskey and chakli.

Star Reporter: Hello ji, sirji how are you.

Mani Kapoor : Happy, sad and angry, in one word confused. But ‘cheers’ for PADMAAVAT, it’s a visual treat and I am glad that finally it hit the marquee and is finding audience.

Star Reporter : Cheers! For that, you loved it seems, your views sir

Mani Kapoor : Yes I love it and while watching the film, I came across certain viewpoints which I would like to share.

Star Reporter : Go ahead sir, shoot. You made my day

Mani Kapoor : We need certain urgent changes/addition/amendment in our constitution.

Star Reporter: (Taken by surprise, anyhow manages to gulp his drink, recovers and asks) changes in constitution. From where is this coming, you are suppose to give views on PADMAAVAT.

Mani Kapoor : Exactly, I am coming to that and presenting a bigger picture you see. PADMAAVAT is not just a film, it has become a movement and I take this opportunity to express my views concerning the industry. This is the time we should speak on bigger matters and not just restrict ourselves in just criticizing the film, we should think beyond.

Star Reporter: speak on Sirji, my recorder is on

Mani Kapoor: Tomorrow our nation is observing its 69th Republic Day and on the eve of India’s 69th Republic Day we see fringe targeting a movie like PADMAVAAT and having their stay in certain areas. Plus our industry is indulged in rigid practices sine ages which also needs to be stopped. I am sure my recommendations are taken seriously and implemented asap.

Star Reporter : Your demands sir

Mani Kapoor : Due credit to the fringe element should be given after the opening credits of a controversial film thanking them for their support in keeping the controversy alive and making everyone busy. This will make them realize their folly and such harassments will be kept on check. At the same time the media should be directed not to take names of the fringe group while covering their vandalisms. This will create an impact.

Star Reporter: Hmmm. anything else or that’s it.

Mani Kapoor: I have just started my dear, I am a man of vision you see.

Star Reporter: Elaborate

Mani Kapoor : Filmmakers should stick to their release date and stop playing this musical chairs. Why we should be apprehensive about our colleague coming on same Friday. We should learn from those old times.

Star Reporter: Noted

Mani Kapoor: Actors, actress having an affair should confirm their status without leaving hints like we are just friends and all.

Star Reporter : Now you are after our bread and butter.

Mani Kapoor : No, you can still gossip. You will have to work on yourself.

Star Reporter : Will see. Or kya ( what else)

Mani Kapoor: Actor actresses should stop announcing their marriage and give media coverage, while the declaration of divorce should continue.

Star Reporter: What are you saying, marriage announcements results in wider coverage and reach for the publication, it generates views. Divorce announcements are done for info.

Mani Kapoor : I am talking from the audience, fan point of you. Pseudo like you are never in touch with the mind and heart of the audience, I am and that’s’ the reason my movies are blockbusters.

Star Reporter: justify your point

Mani Kapoor :It’s a known fact that a sensation like Hrithik Roshan saw a drop in his fan following after his marital status became public. It is observed that actresses after marriage fail to garner the same amount of patronage from their fans after marriage. Jealousy is an emotion inherited in every human and especially in die – hard fans this tendency is observed in abundance. Marriage announcements adds fire to the jealousy while divorce declarations serves as a healer, it creates sympathy amongst fans. If it works for the star, it works for the film, the filmmaker and for the industry in long run.

Star Reporter: Interesting, though I not completely agree.

Mani Kapoor : Your agreement doesn’t matter

Star Reporter: so what matters

Mani Kapoor : Immediate implementation of my suggestions and necessary amendments done in the constitution.

Star Reporter : You have nothing more to add on this.

Mani Kapoor : There are other crucial things needed to be done by the government. I am a respectable citizen of India, who has the brain to pay his taxes from the money earned by his no brainers. I am not a fringe element who only knows how to pressurize the authorities with their unworthy demands. The above suggestions are enough for a year. I hope by the end of 2018 the desired changes are done by the government in the constitution for the betterment of the industry and public in general.

Star Reporter : If doesn’t happens then.

Mani Kapoor : Karam hi mera dharam hai, ( my duty is my responsibility) – will announce JOLLY LLB 3 on the eve of 26 January 2019 starring a mega star and he will spearhead the movement of the said amendment in the constitution on screen. Happy Republic Day to you.

Star Reporter : A very Happy Republic Day to you also sir. Cheers!!

As PADMAAVAT released in 4,000-plus screens in India, barring a few states, the movie's makers said the first day response has been overwhelming, but they hope Indians across all states get to watch it.

"We are humbled with the response we have received for PADMAAVAT. Over 1 million Indians have already watched the film and occupancy levels for shows are very strong across more than 4,000 screens – with most running houseful. The feedback for the film has been overwhelming," a Viacom18 Motion Pictures spokesperson said in a statement.

"We are grateful to the government, state authorities, police and our fans for making the opening a stellar success. We are hopeful that every Indian – across all states- will get a chance to see the film especially as we celebrate our great nation's 69th Republic Day," the spokesperson added.

The movie, which tells the story based on 'Padmavat', 16th century poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi's poem on Rani Padmavati, has been facing protests from Shri Rajput Karni Sena which has condemned the makers for alleged distortion of historical facts.

The governments in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh did not allow the film to release.

PADMAAVAT, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, has opened to mixed reviews from critics, but fans of the actors have given it an encouraging response.

Deepika's fans created a #DP1stDay1stShow club on social media, where they posted pictures with tickets and went live from theatres, despite all the hullabaloo around the movie.

Touched by the reactions, Deepika tweeted: "I cannot believe what I'm seeing!!! What a show of pure genuine love and commitment! I'm not only touched and overjoyed, but extremely humbled seeing this absolutely unique initiative. #DP1stDay1stShow."

Controversial Hindi film PADMAAVAT was screened across Punjab and Haryana on Thursday to a good response from viewers amid tension and security around multiplexes and cinema halls in both the states.

With scores of armed policemen and private guards stationed in and around the multiplexes and cinema halls, most shows reported high to full occupancy.

Haryana Director General of Police B.S. Sandhu said in Chandigarh that the film was being screened incident-free in 33 cinema halls across nine districts in Haryana. "No disturbance has been reported from anywhere."

Cinema hall owners at many places, however, opted not to screen the film in view of threats of violence from members of the Shri Rajput Karni Sena and other groups who are opposed to it claiming it distorts Rajput history.

While no major incident was reported on Thursday from Punjab and Chandigarh, minor incidents of protestors coming to cinema halls in Rewari, Jind and Sonepat in Haryana and Zirakpur in adjoining Chandigarh were reported.

However, the heavy security arrangement ensured that nothing untoward happened.

In Haryana, authorities imposed Section 144 Cr.PC to prevent assembly of five of more people around cinema halls. A total of 54 companies of police were deployed near cinema halls. Most were stationed in Gurugram and Faridabad adjoining Delhi.

Security personnel were deployed outside leading malls and cinema halls where the film was screened. The Haryana and Punjab Police did not want to take any chances in view of the violence witnessed in Gurugram on Wednesday.

Cinema hall managers said the film was getting a good response.

"We normally have 5-6 shows every day for films. But for PADMAAVAT, we have 12 shows daily in view of the high demand," a cinema hall owner in Sirsa town in Haryana said.

The BJP government in Haryana had earlier imposed a ban on screening of the film in the state but the Supreme Court stayed the ban.

Screening of the film went on under tight security in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala and other places in Punjab.

In Chandigarh, the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, PADMAAVAT got off to a good start in malls and cinema halls.
