Padmavati has been facing a lot of trouble
since its announcement. After a string of
protests by the Rajput Karni Sena, the
makers were forced to postpone the film's
release date for political reasons. The
controversies around the release of the film
refuse to die down.
The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh
and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.
Yesterday, at the red carpet of Zee Cine
Awards, Shahid was asked about the
current status of the release of the film. To
which he said, "I am sure we will have clarity
by the end of this year about when the film
is releasing. But we want it to release as
soon as possible."
"Of course, there has been the whole
controversy around Padmavati but it is such
a special film. When I look back at this year,
it has been one of the most exciting years in
my career - to be doing Padmavati, to be a
part of a film which I really believe is going
to be historic and remembered, if I may say
so," he said.
"That's how I feel about it. So, I am very
happy with this year. The wait is killing me. I
am dying for the film to come out," Shahid
added.
The controversy began where rumours
started making the rounds that there are
love scenes between Deepika's character
Rani Padmini and Ranveer's character
Alauddin Khilji. However, Bhansali and
Padmavati team clearly denied any such
scenes shot between the two.
A few months ago, they had even shared an
official statement regarding the same. Their
statement read, "The misunderstanding they
had on the content of the film has been
cleared and clarified. We have clearly stated
that there is no romantic scene or song or
dream sequence between Rani Padmavati
and Allauddin Khilji."
