In a shocking turn of events, The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has cleared Deepika Padukone starrer 'Padmavati' for release without a single cut. The film has been given a December 1 release date by the authority for screening in Britain. But even then, the film is unlikely to be released before it comes out in India and even the makers have signalled in this regard. Back in India, the Supreme Court on Thursday allowed advocate ML Sharma to file another petition seeking a direction to restrain the makers of 'Padmavati' from releasing the film outside India on December 1.

The BBFC, however, passed the film without any cut and gave it a 12 A rating. 12 A rating means a child under 12 needs to be accompanied by adults to watch the film. It said that the film had “moderate violence and injury detail”. In the summary of the film, it says, “'Padmavati' is a Hindi language epic drama in which a Sultan leads an invasion to capture a Rajput queen.” Well, we wonder when the CBFC will reach a decision in regards to 'Padmavati'.

Stay tuned for more updates.
