Ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, has still not hit theatres due to immense controversies surrounding the film.
According to reports, the CBFC held a meeting of the examining committee on December 28 and has given the film a U/A certificate. However, there will be some modifications - its title will mostly be changed to Padmavat.
Other modifications include disclaimers, including one clarifying that the practice of Sati is not being glorified.
Historical big-budget Bollywood film Padmavati has been in the headlines for the past few days. Many prominent celebrities have come forward to support the film while some of the political leaders have expressed their displeasure.
Politician H Raja opens up about this issue, “When you make a film based on a historical event, you should not twist or falsify it. You cannot make a misappropriate dance video of queen Padmavati. Tomorrow, will they make a cinema featuring Mumtaj and Chatrapathi Sivaji dancing together? What shameful act this is? I wonder how Kamal Haasan encouraged this film? I guess Kamal has made it a point to support all perverted ideas. I don't think this is right. A historical event should never be distorted."
