Deepika Padukone–Shahid Kapoor–Ranveer Singh starrer film, Padmaavat (initially known as Padmavati) is finally releasing on January 25, 2018. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus is perhaps one of the most anticipated films of the year. People have been eager to watch it ever since the trailer was unveiled in October. While Deepika is essaying the role of Rani Padmini, Shahid is playing the role of her husband, Maha Rawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer, the ruthless Delhi Sultanate ruler, Alauddin Khilji in the film. The movie that was to initially release on December 1, is now finally releasing in the next two days and to say that we’re excited would only be an understatement. However, we’re not the only one who is, Shahid’s wife, Mira Rajput too can’t contain her happiness.
Mira took to her Instagram profile to express her excitement. She shared a still of her husband from the film and captioned it, “Spirit makes the king, not just the crown. #Maharawalratansingh #padmaavat.” The film is a true tribute to the Rajput pride and valour, and Mira’s post goes to show that she is as smitten by the king’s spirit and valour as us.

It’s a matter of great happiness for the film’s director, lead actors and everyone related to it, that the film is finally seeing the light of the day after being put through so much. Four states–Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat had banned the film but the makers challenged the ban at the Supreme court, following which the apex court ruled the case in Padmaavat’s favour, ordering the states to screen the film while making sure that no law and order situation that takes place. Rajasthan and MP still went ahead and requested the apex court to reconsider the decision. Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, in a statement with a leading news daily said, “It’s an order, better abide by it. You (states) can advise people not to watch the movie. We passed an order and our orders required to be complied by all. People can’t come and say law and order problems, ban the movie. Let us not come to a state where the exhibition of a movie, despite certified by the censor board, is crippled.”
