Lol! I'm superstitious just like you!

Call me old fashioned, but I do think that Shahid is a bad omen. Something is seriously off with that dude's stars. He is the bringer of misfortune. 😕

10 Facts you ought to know about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati

BySubhash K. Jha
Nov 30, 2017 - 10:19 am IST

1. It doesn't have a single shot of Rani Padmavati showing any sign of affection or even empathy towards her adversary Alauddin Khilji. Throughout the film, as Ranveer Singhs Khilji tries to break down the Rani's barriers she scoffs, mocks, sneers and darts red-hot hatred at him. Romancing the invader? No way. In fact so intense is Deepika Padukones portrayal of animosity towards Rascal' Ranveer that the joke on the sets was no producer would dare to cast the two together as a couple again.

2. Deepika's dancing in the Ghoomar song is just a small part of her presence in Padmavati. Throughout she is shown to be more of a warrior than an artiste. Her battle scenes on top of a horse were all shot with Deepika Padukone. No double was used. She is all there, fighting in the battlefield with a ferocity.

3. There was apprehension that Shahid Kapoor who plays Deepika's husband may not...errr...match up to her, at least in his physical height. But Shahid turned out to be as tall as Deepika. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief. Shahid and Deepika who play a husband and wife barely exchanged hellos on the sets while Deepika and Ranveer who barely exchange pleasantries on screen in Padmavati were on anything but on hello' terms in real life.

4. To keep that political distance between Rani Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji which is part of their mutual presence in the film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali ordered Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh to keep away from each other's company. However, the two would sneak a chat, snatch a moment when Bhansali was not looking until he came to know what's happening behind his back.

5. There's no homosexual angle to Ranveer's character, as reported in a section of the press.

6. When Bhansali devised Padmavati ten years ago he wanted to cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Padmavati and Salman Khan as Khilji. Weirdly that would have been another real-life couple playing sworn enemies on screen. But Aishwarya was busy playing another Royal Queen in Jodhaa Akbar. And she had fallen out with Salman Khan.

7. In 2008 when Sanjay Bhansali performed the opera version of Padmavati in Paris he vowed to make the film the biggest of his career. He rang up Aishwarya from Paris to declare, "You will be my Padmavati. He would stage the epic spectacle every night at the prestigious Theatre Chatlet and write the screenplay for the film version in the morning as he strolled by the Seine listening to Lata Mangeshkar's songs.

8. "Padmavati is inspired by Lataji's voice, SLB once confessed to me. The songs of Bhansali's Padmavati are dedicated Lataji. She inspired K Asif in Mughal-e-Azam and Raj Kapoor in Satyam Shivum Sunderam. Now it's Bhansali's turn.

9. At 3 hours and 2 minutes Padmavati is SLB's lengthiest film ever. Half an hour of the film will be cut off for the international version of the film.

10. Padmavati will be the last historical by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Period.

Just one day before Padmavati's initial release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali leaves the city amidst police protection view HQ pics

We wonder where is Sanjay Leela Bhansali heading to, just one day before Padmavati's initial release (December 1)

By Pooja Nayak | Published: November 30, 2017 10:14 am
Just one day before Padmavati's initial release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali leaves the city amidst police protection view HQ pics
  • Deepika Padukone's recent fashion outing - Yay or Nay?
  • Deepika Padukone was no in mood to smile for the paparazzi at the airport
  • Did Shahid Kapoor take Misha's sipper to the gym?
  • When will Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput stop giving us some major couple goals?

The protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor haven't died down. There's still an existing ban on the film with activists finding newer ways to rage and stop Padmavati from hitting the screens. States like Rajasthan, UP, Jaipur have already announced that they won't allow the screening of the film even if the Certification Board passes it. That's a different thing that the Censor Board is yet to pass the film and green light it's release. Or for that matter, even the government is keeping mum despite constant protests. So you can only imagine how tiring and disheartening it must be for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali right now. In fact, if we're not wrong, SLB has been picturing this story in his mind since over a decade now and finally when it's due for release, there's no ray of hope. In stead, all that he's getting to see is fight, blood, debate, threats and above all, angry faces to ban the film.

While we're not sure where is Sanjay Leela Bhansali heading to this morning. Pictures of him from the Mumbai airport have just come to us and you can clearly see the stress-level on his face. Interestingly, he's spotted leaving the city just one day before the film's initial release (December 1), amidst high-end police protection. Here, check out all the pictures below:

We hope the issues around Padmavati resolve soon. As Deepika Padukone believes, "We are extremely proud and confident of the film we have made. When the heart is in the right place, no one can stop a film. While working on the film, as artistes, we were in a different zone. I only spoke up last month after I finished the film and came out of that zone (she reacted to a group of protester in Surat damaging a rangoli inspired by Padmavati). That's when I wondered for how long are we going to remain silent? For how long would the entertainment industry be made a scapegoat for everything that happens in this country? I believe we are constantly answerable to everyone for some reason or the other. Why attack cinema which is full of love and which brings people together? Why curb people's freedom of expression? How long can we allow some people to get away with what they have been doing? Also read: After Padmavati row, Udta Punjab cuts, PK controversy, Bollywood should rather shut shop

Guess, it's time everyone stands up against this hooliganism that's selling on the name of safeguarding culture.

What the hell?! I wanted a gay romance in the movie not only because representation matters, but also because India has NEVER had a LGBT angle in a mainstream movie. 😡

Not to mention, Khilji was bisexual in real life and this decision of the Padmavati makers is inauthentic.

😭 Good for the film but I want them to do more movies together...

I dont think that's true DP said she aint playing a warrior

He went through a lot for this one. My heart goes out to him. He deserves the best. I hope the audience accepts the film .
