Rajkumar Santoshi seeks security from Mumbai police after protestors disrupt Gandhi Godse event

Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has written to the Mumbai police seeking tight security for himself and his family ahead of the release of his film 'Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh'. His plea comes days after his event for film's promotion was disrupted by a few protestors. The film is all set to release in theaters on January 26.

A photocopy of the director's letter was tweeted by news agency ANI in which he mentioned that he received many threats from unknown people asking him to stop the promotion and release of his film. He stated grave damage and injury could be caused to him and his family members if such persons are set free and no steps are taken.

Set in the early Post-independence India of 1947-48, the film is based on an alternative version of Indian history where Mahatma Gandhi survives the assassination attempt by Godse.

The film will clash at the theatres with Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan'.
