Finally Padmavati film Censored

Mumbai, December 30: Bollywood Sensational and Talented Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film 'Padmavati', which has been at the center of a huge controversy, will get a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, popularly called the censor board here on Today.

The CBFC has decided to issue a U/A certificate to Padmavati provided certain suggested modifications are done including a change in the title.

CBFC has now asked Padmavati makers to drop 'i' from the title and make it 'Padmavat'.

Bhansali's film, which stars Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmini, Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khalji and Shahid Kapoor as Rana Ratan Singh — has been at the centre of widespread protests by the Rajput groups and allies since earlier this year. Organistions such as the Karni Sena not only manhandled Bhansali and disrupted the film's shoot in Rajasthan, they called for a ban on Padmavati's release in the state. Several state governments then declared that they would not allow Bhansali's film to be screened in their theatres. Deepika and Bhansali received death threats.
