‘Padmavati’ shoot cancelled as Deepika Padukone strains her neck

Trouble seems to be unending for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’. First, the shoot of the film had to be stalled due to constant attacks on the sets by Karni Sena, and this time around the shoot had to be canceled as the female lead of the film, Deepika Padukone, strained her neck.

Deepika, who plays the titular role of Rani Padmavati in the film, suffered a neck pain and called in to cancel her shoot. A source close to a leading portal revealed, “Deepika was to shoot today. But she experienced some pain in the neck. It was slightly unbearable and hence she decided to skip the shoot and rest.”

Another source added, “She was uncomfortable shooting with the heavy costumes and thought that it would strain her neck further. Hence Deepika cancelled the shoot. She is in immense pain and has been advised rest for the next 2-3 days.”

While we wish the actress a speedy recovery, we also hope that Sanjay Leela Bhansali faces no further delay in the process of making ‘Padmavati’.
