Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Padmavati has been in news since its inception. The film has landed in controversy owing to its historical content and had run into trouble after the sets were vandalised by an angry mob alleging that the makers of the film were distorting history.

The makers however have clarified that the film would narrate history as it is and that there were no attempts to misrepresent it.

Padmavati, based on the bravery and inspiring tale of Rani Padmini happens to be Deepika and Ranveer’s third film with ace filmmaker SLB. The trio had created waves at the Box Office with Goliyon Ki Raasleela - Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani in the past. And with Shahid Kapoor on board SLB’s film for the first time, the visual extravaganza is expected to be even bigger.

Bhansali masters the art of presenting a dream on screen - the sets of his film are larger-than-life, his actors look ethereal and his songs -soulful.

The ace craftsman, who makes his leading lady his muse has also composed songs for the film. And now that the first look posters of each of the main characters have been unveiled, we can’t wait to watch the teaser.

Slated to release on December 1, Padmavati comes across as an intriguing tale of bravery, chivalry and vengeance.
