The first look for the film ‘Padmavati’ was released today and let’s just say it broke down the internet. The entire nation is awestruck by its royal look. Deepika Padukone who is an epitome of beauty looks absolutely stunning as the Goddess Rani Padmini. Film-maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali believed it was best to introduce his vision on this auspicious first day of Navratri, also known as Devi Sthapna.

Talking about revealing the first look, Mr. Bhansali said, "I'm happy to bring the story of 'Padmavati' to the screen. It was a fitting date for us to launch the first look of the film and celebrate this auspicious occasion." The film-maker is known for his larger than life take to films, and this one is no exception. Mr. Bhansali did thorough research on Rani Padmini's look as she was famed for her beauty.

A source close to the film revealed, "We did thorough research on Rani Padmini — from the kind of outfits she wore to her makeup. Women back then used natural ingredients to enhance their beauty. Bhansali was certain that he wanted to retain the authenticity. So, Deepika used very little makeup for her role. It would take her 30 minutes to get ready." He further continued, "Since Padmini originally belonged to Sri Lanka, her outfits have a strong Sinhalese touch, although they are regal Rajputani attire." The film is slated to release in cinemas on 1st December, 2017.

Well, we can hardly wait to watch this royal spectacle come to life on the screen. Stay tuned for more updates.
