Update on Padmavati Release

After facing several blockades and controversies, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film "Padmavati", which was retitled "Padmavat" and again "Padmaavat", will be released on January 25, makers of the film announced today.

Viacom18 Motion Pictures announced that the film will be released worldwide in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. The film was earlier scheduled to be released on December 1.

However, the film will not be screened in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Vasundhara Raje government in Rajasthan has banned the film earlier citing public sentiment, while today, Gujarat government issued a notification preventing the screening of the film across the state saying it is necessary for law and order.

Rajasthan and Gujarat was among the states that announced a ban on the film last year amid fierce protests by Rajput groups. The groups had objected to the depiction of their legendary Queen Padmini and alleged a distortion of history, even though experts are divided over whether the queen's story is fact or legend.

The Rajput Karni Sena, which led the protests, has threatened to vandalise cinema halls screening the movie, despite the censor board's go-ahead.

On December 28, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared the film with a U/A certificate, but called for modifications, including a change in the name from "Padmavati" to "Padmaavat"  - the title of Malik Muhammad Jayasi's epic, which is believed to be the source of the film - and a disclaimer on historical accuracy.


Announcing the release, Sudhanshu Vats, Group CEO of Viacom18 said, "'Padmaavat' is a cinematic masterpiece in every sense of the word. We hope that we will surpass the expectations of our fans from across the world. We are humbled with the immense support we have received from the government authorities, the Central Board of Film Certification and the entire film fraternity."
