New Delhi: The trouble for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his magnum opus 'Padmavati' seems to be never-ending. Enough has been said and written about the makers, film and even the lead actress Deepika Padukone.
Now, actor Ranveer Singh, who is playing Alauddin Khilji in the film was asked by the media about the ongoing controversy. ANI quoted him as saying, “'I am 200% with the film and with my director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”
Further, he added, “Given that it's a very sensitive time, I have been specifically asked not to say anything about the film and whatever official communication with regards to the film needs to be made will reach you through the producers.”
The film is currently awaiting certification from the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC). After huge protests against the release of 'Padmavati' by some fringe groups, the date of release was pushed ahead for indefinite time period.
Earlier, it was scheduled to hit the screens on December 1, 2017.
