It is speculated that writers Chetan Bhagat and Durjoy Datta will also catch a screening this week, and a screening will be organised for the royal families of Rajasthan too.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati now titled Padmaavat is all set to release in a week and the buzz for the film is sky-high. The trailer has been loved and the scale and grandeur of the film is such that it looks like a big screen watch without a shred of doubt. Sadly, the film faced protests from certain quarters. Fearing a law and order situation, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana asked for a ban of the film in their respective states. The makers however moved the Supreme Court and going by the past instances, Padmaavat makers surely seem to be on the winning side. And now, the makers of Padmaavat have secured one more victory. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali organized a special screening of his ambitious film to none other than Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the revered spiritual leader and founder of Art of Living Foundation.
