In India, the Central Board of Film Certification, the film certification body, cleared the movie after the incorporation of five modifications.

A Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, the mega movie stars Deepika Padukone in the lead role of Rani Padmini. Shahid Kapoor essays the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh portrays Alauddin Khilji, the 13th Century ruler of the Khilji Dynasty.

The magnum opus is based on the legend of Rani Padmini, a 13th century Hindu Rajput queen, mentioned in Padmavat, an Avadhi poem written by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540.

The film hits theaters on Wednesday amidst violent protests across the northern and north-western India.

The Rajput community, especially the Shri Rajput Karni Sena, is upset with the alleged tampering with the historical facts in the film. (ANI)
