Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor's 'Padmavati' postponed?

New Delhi: Maverick filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus in the making 'Padmavati' is back in news but this time the fans will be a little sad. Why? Well, the latest buzz has it that the powerful ensemble starrer will not be releasing on the scheduled date this year.

According to noted trade analyst Ramesh Bala, the film might be pushed ahead to April 2018 release. However, there is no official confirmation on the same as yet. 'Padmavati' stars Deepika Padukone playing the titular role of Rani Padmini, Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Dippy's on-screen husband, Raja Ratan Singh.
