Madonna has demanded Guy Ritchie leave their sons out of a documentary about his family and Kabbalah.

The 57-year-old pop legend has scuppered her ex-husband's and his new wife Jacqui Ainsley's plans to release the film which would reveal the family's connection to the religion, after she refused to allow Rocco, 15 and David Banda, 10, to be a part of it.
A source shared: "Madonna is the one who introduced Guy to Kabbalah and she doesn't want it to go ahead. It was top secret, but she found out about it because David told her.
"She doesn't want Rocco or David to be in it, and they are having to rework it. It's caused a big problem.
"Now the whole thing could be shelved. It's caused a lot of added stress."
Guy doesn't follow the religion which derives from Judaism, though the film - shot at Guy and Jacqui's Wiltshire home - was set to explore the whole family's interest in spiritualism.
The source added to the Daily Mirror: "This has been a very special project for Guy and Jacqui, something they have worked very hard on. They hope they can work it out."
Meanwhile, Rocco left Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' tour late last year to stay with his father and subsequently defied a court order to return to his mother and siblings which also include Lourdes, 19, and Mercy, 10, for Christmas.
Now the former couple are in a court battle and a ruling is expected soon on whether the teenager should return to his mother's care.
