PTI, MUMBAI: Viacom18 Motion Pictures, the makers of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat", today announced that the film will hit the screens on January 25.
The movie, which was earlier titled "Padmavati", will now be released with the title change suggested by the censor board. "Padmaavat" will release worldwide on January 25, in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.
According to the release, it is the first Indian film that will have a global IMAX 3D release. It has been cleared for release by the CBFC with a U/A release certificate post the incorporation of only five modifications. Starring Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji, the film was mired into controversy after Rajput Karni Sena raised their objections towards the content of the film and an apparent dream sequence between Deepika and Ranveer.
The film is based on 16th century Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi's epic poem "Padmavat".
