EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's PADMAVATI teaser to launch on NAVRATRI on social media?
Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor starrer Padmavati's teaser to come out on September 21, 2017.
Here’s some great news for Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh fans. Now, we have heard that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to unveil the first teaser of Padmavati, on Navratri (September 21), on social media, through his stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, his co-producer Viacom 18 and his production house. The story revolves around Rana Ratan Singh of Chittor, his beautiful queen Padmini and the ruthless Sultan of Delhi, Alauddin Khilji, who attacked Chittor to get her.
Says a source, "Padmavati has been subject to various speculations - from budget going up to the film getting delayed and the stars delaying the shoot. The first shooting schedule had gone off track a bit, so Bhansali has been shooting around the clock to complete the film. The makers are determined to release it by the end of this year hence they decided to release it this week on September 21 (Thursday). Navratri is a festive occasion and Bhansali himself loves colour and grandness in his films so what better than to release the first teaser on this auspicious occasion which is full of colour, music, singing and dancing – much like his films? It will be a 30-second teaser depicting a little bit of the war between Rana Ratan Singh and Alauddin Khilji’s armies."
While the film is slated to release on November 17 this year, there’s speculation in trade that the film may get postponed to December 1 as some VFX is still left apart from shooting left of the top three stars.
Padmini or Padmavati was an extraordinarily beautiful princess of the Singhal kingdom (Sri Lanka) whom Ratan Sen, the Rajput ruler of Chittor married and brought to Chittor. While Ratan Sen was killed in a war, Padmavati and her companions committed Jauhar (self-immolation) to protect their honour, before Alauddin Khilji could capture Chittor.
