The uncertainty surrounding the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial period drama Padmavati, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, might just be coming to an end. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) held a meeting of the examining committee on December 28 and came to a decision to give Padmavati a U/A certificate. The special panel consisted of Shri Arvind Singh from Udaipur as well as Dr Chandramani Singh and Prof K.K. The makers, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions, in a written communication to the CBFC had requested that a panel of historians/academicians and members of the Rajput community view the film. The certificate will be issued as per procedure once the required modifications are carried out and the final material is submitted.
