Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati release postponed, now the film to release on this date
There is a bad news for the fans who were waiting for the grand release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, as the film has postponed till 12th January 2018 due to controversy regarding the film. Well, it is also being told that the film has been postponed because the censor board (CBFC) will not be able to clear the film till 1st December.
This is to notice that since the film has announced the makers are facing controversy and the Rajput Karni Sena is totally against the release and content of the film, they have allegedly said that Bhansali is disrespecting the honour of Rajputs through this film. Since the trailer has come out the Rajput Karni Sena is protesting against the film and they have even threatened the filmmaker Bhansali and leading actress Deepika Padukone.
