Nakuul Mehta has something to say over 'Padmaavat' row

Mumbai: Telly heartthrob Nakkul Mehta has jumped in the 'Padmaavat' row, saying, there is no place for art in India. The reaction has come to an advertisement of disclaimers from the makers of "Padmaavat" on Monday.

"Statutory warning on a cigarette pack, I understand. This, I don't. No place for art in my country. Padmaavat," Naakul tweeted with a photograph of the full-page newspaper ad which enlists disclaimers busting misconceptions associated with the upcoming movie "Padmaavat".
