Amul Takes A Dig At Censor Board With Latest Advertorial On Deepika Padukone’s Padmavati

After Padmavati getting numerous cuts at the CBFC, Amul has taken a hilarious dig at the people wanting to cut the ‘i’ from the title of the film. Read on to know more…

Ever since the period drama Padmavati directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali was announced, there has been a great buzz about the film. Be it the Deepika Padukone’s ethereal look or her pairing with Shahid Kapoor, or Ranveer Singh’s menacing avatar – the film has kept everyone talking. But recently, the film drew more attention for all the wrong reasons. First the sets were vandalised, then threats were issued to the director and SLB, and finally it was the CBFC with all its cuts for the movie, ultimately leading to the delay of the film’s release.

Now, popular dairy products brand, Amul has taken a dig at the censor board with its latest advertorial. Check it out:

Amul captioned the post as: “#Amul Topical: Bollywood blockbuster cleared with small name change! (sic).”

Though Bhansali has confirmed time and again that there aren’t any romantic scenes between Rani Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji, that has not stopped protesters from creating a ruckus. In fact, many historic researchers claim, queen Padmavati could be just a fictional character and not an actual person. The character of Padmavati was first mentioned in a 16th century poem Padmavat, written in Awadhi by the Sufi poet, Malik Muhammad Jayasi.

The film was sceheduled to hit theatres on December 1, 2017. But it is now going to release on the Valentine’s Day weekend this year.

Let’s wait and watch whether the movie is able to shut its detractors by becoming a blockbuster at the ticket windows.
