'Padmavati': Not certified, but reviewed already!
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 18 2017]
The makers of the upcoming historical 'Padmavati' have yet to get the CBFC's certification for their film, but their movie is already being reviewed and how! Well, the makers are busy holding select screenings for some individuals, mainly high-profile journalists, at a time when certain Rajput groups are up against the "distortion of history" by the Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie.
And after the screenings, the journos are certifying that the film has done no wrong.
The developments have made Prasoon Joshi, the new CBFC chief, to say this: "It's disappointing that the film is being screened for the media and getting reviewed without it having been certified. This subverts the due procedures that are part of a functioning industry."
The film is set to hit the screens on Dec 1. It stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.
