Wednesday, 17 January 2018 07:00

After dealing with a tsunami of controversies, Padmaavat will soon see the light of the day.

The makers, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, have officially announced 25th January 2018 as the worldwide release date of the magnum opus. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Padmaavat will be the first Indian film that will have a global IMAX 3D release.

Earlier this month, the movie was cleared for release by the CBFC with a U/A release certificate post the incorporation of only 5 modifications. A panel of historians also watched the film to make sure that the film has no objectionable content.

The movie was previously titled Padamavati and was scheduled to hit the theatres on December 1, but after intervention by fringe groups across the country the release was stalled. Starring Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh & Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji, the film will also be released in Tamil and Telugu, in addition to Hindi.
