Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus may finally have a release date but its troubles are far from over. Now, the governments from various states including Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana amongst others have banned the release of the film in their states. After this controversy, the producers of the film have now sought help from the Supreme Court to help lift the ban from the states and to stop it from being banned in other states. According to reports in a leading media agency, the Apex Court has agreed to hear the plea of the producers.

On Tuesday, the Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana banned the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial film in the state. 'Padmaavat', earlier titled 'Padmavati' is now slated to release on January 24. The film stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles and was finally granted a clearance certificate by the CBFC after all the controversies stirred by it. Well, we wonder when this drama will come to an end. Stay tuned for more updates.
