Padmavati Will Not Release Before March-April, Here’s Why

The movie was earlier slated to release on 1 December

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial project Padmavati which was dated to release on 1 December 2017 got shifted to 2018 due to the unending controversies. The CBFC team is yet to give a clearance to the movie. The lead Actor of the movie Shahid Kapoor recently said that the team will come to know the release date in 10 days. But according to the sources the movie won’t release before March-April.

According to the latest sources, The Central Board of Film Certification is likely to appoint a panel of historians to watch ‘Padmavati’. There are minimum 40 features films in different languages waiting in the queue ahead of Padmavati. Because of the year-end, some board members are on holiday and a few others had called in sick. The movie can’t be released before March-April 2018.

This might come as a huge disappointment for makers who were hoping to get a quick censor clearance.
