Kolkata, Jan 25 (IBNS): Kolkata Police has taken several preventive steps to avoid any law and order disruption during the screening of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial movie Padmavat in the city, officials said.

According to reports, surveillance and security in and around Kolkata's cinema halls have been stepped up ahead of the screening of Padmavat.

The Ranbir Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer Padmavat will be releasing in more than 130 movie theatres in West Bengal, including 32 screens in Kolkata, from Thursday afternoon.

"We will show zero tolerance to any protest over the screening of Padmavat because we never compromise with the safety of cinema halls and cinema lovers," a senior official of Kolkata Police told IBNS.

"All police stations across the city have been alerted to take all adequate preventions to ensure security at the cinema halls during Padmavat screening," the official added.
