The film, which was scheduled to release on 17th November, was delayed as its shooting in Jaipur was disrupted earlier this year.
In January, during the shooting of the film in Jaipur, the members of Shri Rajput Karni Sena protested at sets at Jaigarh Fort alleging that Bhansali depicted wrong facts in the script. They also assaulted the director.
Later in March, the group vandalized the Chittorgarh Fort. A group of unidentified vandals attacked and set fire to the sets of the film in Kolhapur which led to production set, costumes and jewelry burnt.
The new poster, however, announces a new release date, 1st December.
Padmavati tells the story of Sultan Alauddin Khilji and his obsessive love for the already married Rani Padmini played by Padukone. Ranveer Singh plays the role of Khilji and Shahid Kapoor is essaying the role of Padmini’s husband Rana Rawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of Mewar.
The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jim Sarbh, Sonu Sood and Danny Denzongpa. Produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Bhansali Productions, Padmavati is expected to feature some amazing songs composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shreya Ghoshal is singing four songs for the film.
