Suraj Pal Amu of Rs 10 crore Bhansali, Deepika bounty fame quits party post

Suraj Pal Amu, the man who threatened to burn down any movie theatre that screened Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, has resigned as the Haryana Bharatiya Janata Party's chief media coordinator of the party.

Apart from threatening to torch movie theatres, Amu had also sensationally offered a Rs 10 crore reward to anyone who would behead Bhansali, the director of Padmavati, or Deepika Padukone, who plays the role of Rani



Padmani.

Amu's Rs 10 crore bounty was in response to an individual from Meerut himself announcing a Rs 5 crore bounty on the heads of Bhansali and Deepika. The BJP media chief's comments had ignited controversy and had also led him to getting booked by police in Gurgaon.
