Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Padmavati' has been facing a lot of troubles since the time of its inception and, on Friday the protests against Bhansali's film took a horrifying turn.

The body of a man was found hanging in Rajasthan's Nahargarh Fort, 20 km near Jaipur.

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt took to Twitter and expressed her disappointment over the whole incident.

"This is what happens when violent threats are allowed to made openly without punishment! What is happening? Shocked!" noted Bhatt.

Alongside the body, slogans were written against the movie scrawled on stones nearby.

One of the messages read, "Padmavati protesters should know we don't only hang effigies. We are strong."

Many were left shocked by this terrifying incident and even B-Town celebrities felt quite numb by hearing about this accident.

A lot of celebrities from Bollywood and other film industries have slammed the string of protests that the team of 'Padmavati' has been facing.

The movie was slated to release on December 1, 2017.
