The Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena (RRKS) said the censor board’s nod to the controversial film was “unfortunate”. “It is unfortunate that the censor board has decided to give the film a U/A certificate with only five changes. Even then, the censor board has taken such a decision. The film got stuck in a controversy after various Rajput groups alleged that it distorted history, a claim repeatedly denied by Bhansali. As the anti-Padmavati protests spread across various states, the film’s December 1 release was deferred as it did not have a clearance from the censor board.
