The fate of Padmavati directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali still remains undecided as the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is yet to take a call on its content. And it looks like it will see a release only in April or March of 2018.

The makers of the film were hoping to get a thumbs up post Gujarat elections as there were speculations that the film was kept on hold due to the polls. Many politicians had also said the film’s story could hurt public sentiment which could impact the election results.


While Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is contemplating on who to name the next chief minister of Gujarat, people involved with Padmavati still have no sight of a release date for the film.
