Padmaavat

The trouble which began at the end of 2017, spilled over to 2018 too. Several Rajput groups including Karni

Sena protested, vandalised the film sets, and even issued threats to Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika

Padukone, claiming that

Padmaavat portrays Rajput queen Padmavati in a bad light. While several states banned the film, the Supreme Court dismissed a petition against its release. Its scheduled theatrical release on December 1, 2017 as ‘Padmavati’ got postponed in India. It finally arrived on January 25, 2018, with a changed title – ‘Padmaavat’, multiple disclaimers and a midriff covered Deepika in the “Ghoomar” song. The movie eventually broke several box office records.
