There is looking a huge possibility that Padmavati is set for a release on 26th January 2018. It could be rumours as they are abound with this film and that will be the case if an announcement is not make in the 3-4 days but it could be that official announcement will come.
It could be a 25th or 26th release and if this happens it will be a very sad scenario for the film industry as two films are already schedule for that release date. In normal circumstances a film could easily be moved to 9th February which is also a great date but it is very difficult here as even with an official announcement no one can be 100% sure if Padmavati will actually make the date due to the problems the film has suffered. Padman and Aiyaary are the two films that are set to release on that date at the moment.
The problem this causes is that even if an official announcement comes there will be doubt whether the film can actual make it and it is already banned in a couple of states, will these bans lift or will other states also ban it.
This creates a scenario that if for example a Padman moves to 9th February which is as strong as 26th January if not more then what will happen if Padmavati has to postpone again and that date is 9th February Any other big film coming to clash and it can easily be avoided but a controversial film like Padmavati where even the makers do not know what is going to happen leaves it impossible for others to make a correct decision due to everything being up in the air.
Padmavati has been in the wars for sometime and now in a cutthroat industry this film which already has huge problems may create problems for others. It would be great if these rumours are not true but the next few days will tell how this scenario is going to play out as a Padmavati date is going to be announced soon.
