The first look of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming period drama ‘Padmavati’, co-starring Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, is out! Deepika Padukone looks majestic in her ‘goddess queen’ avatar. She can be seen sporting a unibrow. The heavy jewellery adds to her royal look.

Two pictures of Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati have been officially released on the occasion of the first day of Navratri. On Wednesday, the actress had shared a logo of ‘Padmavati’ — thereby starting the promotions of the film, which was mired in controversy during its shoot over its subject.

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali — known for his grand period dramas — ‘Padmavati’ also features Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.
‘Padmavati’ tells the story of Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi ruler who fell in love with Rajput queen Padmavati.
The movie’s shoot went through a lot of hurdles. In January, activists of outfit Shri Rajput Karni Sena had assaulted Bhansali and vandalised the movie’s Jaipur set over alleged distortions in the film’s script. Later, once the filmmaker had moved the film’s shoot to Maharashtra, an outdoor set of the historic period drama in Kohlapur was reduced to ashes after two dozen unidentified persons torched it in March.
Ending rumours of the film’s release being pushed to next year, the makers have announced that ‘Padmavati’ will hit the screens on December 1, 2017.
