The trouble for the film is increasing every hour. Karni Sena community alleged that the film depicts a dream sequence in which legendary Rajput queen Rani Padmavati is seen romancing Alauddin Khilji. However, the makers of the film have repeatedly assured that there is no such scene in the film.
In fact, Deepika Padukone, during her visit on Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 11, had made it clear that she clearly has no scene with Ranveer Singh in the film, who plays the role of Alauddin Khilji.
Meanwhile, breaking his silence on the controversy, actor Ranveer Singh recently said, ”I am 200 percent with the film and I stand by it as well as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Given that it is very sensitive time right now, I have been specifically asked not to say anything. Whatever official communication with regards to the film needs to be made, you will receive it from the producers.”
Talking about the release date, the makers of ‘Padmavati’ willingly deferred the release date of the film. Earlier, the film was releasing on December 1.
