About the film
The film is a 13th-century tale of Queen Padmavati (Deepika), celebrated for her beauty and wisdom, and her husband, Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid) of Mewar. The story unfolds as Sultan Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer), driven by obsession and ambition, invades Chittor in his quest for Padmavati, who goes to great lengths to protect her kingdom and its values.
Based on Padmaavat by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi, the film had sparked a major controversy at the time of its release with several Rajput outfits taking offence over the portrayal of Queen Padmavati. Apart from the trio, the film also starred Jim Sarbh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Raza Murad, and Manish Wadhwa in key roles.
Padmaavat joins the growing list of older films re-released in theatres over the past year. Several films like Laila Majnu, Rockstar, Gangs of Wasseypur, Karan Arjun, Tumbbad and Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai have also made their way back to the big screen recently.
