Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gives thumbs-up to Padmaavat

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmaavat will finally see the light of day on January 25. Recently, at the Art of Living center in Bangalore, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar watched Padmaavat in the presence of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and showered him with praises. In a statement, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar mentioned that he loved the film and there is nothing objectionable in the Deepika Padukone starrer.

The statement also mentioned that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was surprised by people's opposition to Padmaavat as the film is about Rajput's honour and a tribute to Rani Padmavati.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar also said that Padmaavat will make every Indian proud and everyone should celebrate the film.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali was present at the special screening of Padmaavat for Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Padmaavat was previously banned in four states but on January 18, the Supreme Court suspended the ban on the release of Padmaavat placed by the leaders of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana.

Starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, Padmaavat clashes with PadMan, which also releases on January 25.
