Padmavat will be released on 25th Jan also in IMax-3D

After long protest and delay, Padmaavat is all set to hit the theatres on January 25, locking horns with Akshay Kumar starrer PadMan.

While speculations about Padmaavat to release worldwide on January 25 were rife already, there wasn't any official confirmation from the film's team earlier. Now,  the production house Viacom18 Motion Pictures has announced January 25, 2018 as the worldwide release date of Padmaavat.

Padmavat Release date 25 Jan

Starring Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh as Sultan Alauddin Khilji, the film will also be released in Tamil and Telugu, in addition to Hindi.Padmaavat is the first Indian film that will have a global IMAX 3D release.

Based on 16th century Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s epic poem Padmavat, the movie faced resistance from its early stages due to a misinformation campaign and rumour-mongering.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “Padmaavat is a dream come true for me. I have always been fascinated by the stories of honour, valour and vigour of our great Rajput warriors that have been captured so beautifully in our literature and this movie is my homage to those glorious stories. I would also like to thank the entire film fraternity for supporting Viacom18 and Bhansali Productions through the entire production and pre-release phase and hope they like the film they so supported.”
