On Tuesday a special screening of Padmaavat was organised where around 40 representatives of the Rajput community were invited to watch the film in Noida.
After watching the film, the Rajput community’s mediator Suresh Chavhanke stated to media, “Whatever objections we had raised against the film have been considered in sizable proportions. Our biggest objection was the presence of a shot featuring Alauddin Khilji and Ma Padmavati. Whether through a ‘dream sequence’ or just a mere reflection, we did not want Khilji to touch Padmavati. And it has been the Rajputs’ victory that Khilji, who couldn’t lay hands on Padmavati centuries ago, has failed to do so again through Bhansali’s film.”
Adding further he said, “Our second objection was that the Ghoomar dance does not feature any male presence or reveal any body part. Thankfully, the song in the film does not have any male presence (except Raja Rawalji) and Padmavati’s midriff has been covered by digital effects. Alauddin Khilji has been portrayed exactly how we wanted him to be.”
Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Shahid Kapoor starer Padmaavat is all set to hit the theatres on January 25, 2018. The film is revised by the CBFC board and passed with a U/A certificate and five modifications.
