Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Padmavati’, which has been at the centre of a huge controversy, will get a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, popularly called the censor board.
The board has suggested 26 cuts to the film and a change in the title to ‘Padmavat’ – and will issue the certificate once the modifications are made.
“The film was approached with balanced view keeping in mind both the filmmakers and society. Considering complexities and concerns around the film the requirement for a special panel was felt by CBFC to add perspective to the final decision,” an official of the censor board said.
The film was reviewed by a special panel constituted by the CBFC which included historians after the makers of the film stated that it was partially based on historical facts.
