The Shri Rajput Karni Sena has managed to browbeat the makers of Padmavati into holding a special screening for the outfit. Meanwhile, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has delayed certification to Padmavati. The CBFC certification process takes at least 61 days for a film to be cleared. It may well be not before January 2018 when the Bhansali movie will be screened in public theatres after CBFC certification. Reports were doing the rounds that CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi had watched Padmavati and found nothing objectionable in the film.
