Denouncing the protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film Padmavati, the Bengali film fraternity on Monday called for a "15-minute blackout" in the entire industry on Tuesday afternoon. Terming it a token protest against the ongoing agitation in parts of the country over the release of Padmavati, National Award winning Bengali filmmaker Gautam Ghose said the industry would welcome a debate over the film only after it was released and seen by people. "As a token protest against the untoward incidents that are happening surrounding Padmavati, we will hold a blackout for 15 minutes from 12 noon to 12. 15 p.m tomorrow (Tuesday). It would be a complete blackout of all departments starting from the studio to post-production units," Ghose said at a press conference on Monday.
