Deepika Padukone will be next seen in Padmaavat. The movie has seen more than its fair share of trouble. From the director of the film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, being beaten up by goons to death threats being issued to the actress herself – this movie has seen the worst of it. Definitely, it can use blessings from Gods. Deepika, like her ritual before every film, paid a visit to Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, to seek blessings.
The actress wore a simple, elegant white salwar-kameez. She was surrounded by paparazzi as soon as she reached the premises. We hope her prayers are answered by God and the movie not only sees a safe and secure release but also goes on to become a blockbuster. Check out the pictures of the actress at Siddhivinayak here:
Padmaavat also stars Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in key roles along with Deepika. The movie, after weeks of speculations, will be releasing worldwide on January 25. The first reviews from the ones who have attended the special screening of the film have been phenomenal. Stay tuned for BollywoodLife’s review of Padmaavat which will be out in some time.

Supreme Court had lifted the ban on the film imposed by four states namely, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana. Unhappy with the order and fearing commotion on the day of release, state governments of Rajasthan and MP had asked the Court to reconsider its decision. They have also argued that under the cinematograph act, they have the right to prevent the screening of a film if it poses a threat to law and order. But guess the SC doesn’t see any merit in the plea at all, urging people to not watch it if they aren’t happy about it. Karni Sena are of the opinion that history has been distorted in the film and the Rajput Queen Padmini has been shown in poor light.
