The ire of a few publicity-hungry members of the Rajput community was directed at Sushant Singh Rajput. A troll hit out against the M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story actor for "diluting Rajputana culture". The incident happened in the backdrop of the assault on Padmavati director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of the film.
Bhansali has been previously accused of distorting facts in his 2015 epic film Bajirao Mastani.
