Deepika (who played Rani Padmavati) was paired with Shahid Kapoor (who portrayed Maharawal Ratan Singh) while Ranveer Singh (as Alauddin Khilji) came across as the main antagonist.

Initially titled Padmavati, the film was scheduled for release on December 1 last year. But owing to nationwide protests by Rajput groups over its historical content, the makers decided to defer the film. Moreover, the Central Board of Film Certification too hadn’t issued the clearance certificate. It was only after seeking suggestions from a panel of experts that the Censor Board issued a screening certificate. It had also suggested a few modifications and the same were duly incorporated by the makers.

Inspired by 16th century Sufi poet Malik Muhammed Jayasi’s Padmavat, the film has garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike.

Padmaavat also stars Jim Sarbh as Malik Kafur, Raza Murad as Jalaluddin Khilji and Aditi Rao Hydari as Mehrunnisa.
