It is official. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali starring Deepika Padukone, ‘Padmavathi’ film has been postponed. Which means, the film will not be releasing on December 1st as stated earlier. The film’s production unit has announced that the film has been postponed, and no new release date has been confirmed yet.
‘Padmavathi’ is yet to get a certificate from the CBFC – Central Board of Film Certification. Many people are expecting that this could be the possible reason for postponing the film. An official representative for Viacom 18 Motion Pictures said that ‘We respect the law and constitution, and CBFC. We are hoping that we will obtain all the obligatory permission required for the release of the film very soon.’
The CBFC rejected to certify the film by stating that ‘Application form’ was incomplete. CBFC Chief Prasoon Joshi condemned the screening of the film to media personnel even before it’s certification. ‘Padmavathi’ has been involved in a lot of controversies right from the initial days of the production.
Most notably, the Karni Sena has raised serious objections about few scenes in the film. ‘In reality, Rani Padmini and Khilji never met. But this film even illustrates a love-story between the two. Such kind of content is deeply hurting us,’ said the Karni Sena protestors in the past. With CBFC yet to certify the film, the production unit had no other choice but to postpone the film. No ‘New-date of release’ has been announced yet.
