If like us, you'll too have been waiting for good news regarding Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, 'Padmaavat' then today you're in luck! The film's production house has recently issued a statement stating that the film will have a worldwide release on the 25th of January, 2018. Not just that. It will also be the first film to have an IMAX 3D release!
'Padmaavat', the movie that will release in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu has finally been cleared for release by the CBFC with a U/A release certificate post the incorporation of only 5 modifications. The movie, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles is based on the 16th century Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s epic poem Padmavat and the film has beaten all odds to reach this far.
“'Padmaavat' is a cinematic masterpiece in every sense of the word. We hope that we will surpass the expectations of our fans from across the world. We are humbled with the immense support we have received from the government authorities, the Central Board of Film Certification and the entire film fraternity,” said Sudhanshu Vats, the CEO of the production house. He further added, “'Padmaavat' is a story that’s inherently Indian in its context, ethos and values. In the past, international film-makers have presented Indian stories such as 'Gandhi', 'Life of Pi', 'The Jungle Book' and others to the world. We believe that this is the right time for us to truly make in India and show the world a tale that every Indian is proud of.”
Lastly, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has said, “'Padmaavat' is a dream come true for me. I have always been fascinated by the stories of honour, valour and vigour of our great Rajput warriors that have been captured so beautifully in our literature and this movie is my homage to those glorious stories. I would also like to thank the entire film fraternity for supporting us (the production houses) through the entire production and pre-release phase and hope they like the film they so supported.”
Well, we're already gearing up to go catch the film. Are you too?
