Padmavati row: Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan come out in support of the film

    Deepika Padukone’s period magnum opus Padmavati has had a rough run.

    The makers have voluntarily decided to not release the film, as per their original plan. The film, which was earlier supposed to hit screens next Friday (December 1), has been pushed back and the makers will announce a new release date soon.

    Following threats from various fringe groups, the security for the whole Padmavati team, mainly director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his lead heroine Deepika, has been amped up. But the controversy has brought the whole industry together. Everyone has voiced their support, in unison, for the SLB directorial and the star cast.
