CBFC suggests makers 26 cuts in film and to change 'Padmavati' to 'Padmavat'
Mumbai, Dec 30 (IBNS): The Censor Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has suggested to the makers of the movie Padmavati that certificate will be issued if 26 cuts to the film and a change in the title to 'Padmavati' are made.
The CBFC suggested to change the name to Padmavat.
According to reports, the board passed the film, which triggered a huge row across the country, with a UA certificate and some other modifications.
The reports said the Examining Committee of CBFC viewed the film on Dec 28 and altered its title from Padmavati to Padmavat.
'Padmavat' is the name of an epic poem written in the middle ages by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi.
The film, based on the life of Rajput queen Padmini, has run into trouble with Rajput groups alleging that it distorts history.
This forced the makers to defer the release of the film on Dec1.
Besides Deepika Padukone being in the title role, the film stars Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, among other lead roles.
