The making and attempted release of Padmavati (now Padmaavat) have been quite a rollercoaster ride. There was vandalism of the set and assault of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali when the film was being shot. When the Padmavati trailer was released, most of us started to look forward to the movie release. However, the release was delayed because of protests and threats. Now, after the name has been changed from Padmavati to Padmaavat and a release date finally decided, there is still no end to the problems that the film has been facing.
The CBFC cleared the film for release; however, four states decided that the film would not be released in their respective regions. Those states are Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Haryana. Predictably, the law and order situation was cited as the reason why the states decided against permitting the film's screening.
