The Bollywood film, which was slated to be released on Dec. 1, was indefinitely postponed. “This was an unprecedented and tough situation,” Prasoon Joshi, chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), said in an email. It earlier said the film captured “Rajput valor, dignity and tradition in all its glory”. The film stars popular actor Deepika Padukone, who was the target of Rajput groups who were against its release. “We had given a whole list of objections regarding the movie,” Ajit Singh, president of Rajput Karni Sena, told Reuters.
