Ranveer Singh stand by ‘Padmavati’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali !!! 

“I am 200 percent with the film and I stand by it as well as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Given that it is very sensitive time right now, I have been specifically asked not to say anything. Whatever official communication with regards to the film needs to be made, you will receive it from the producers,” Ranveer told the media here.

The actor was wary of talking about the movie as he was present at the launch of Adidas Original’s first ‘Fashion Destination Door’.

Before any further questions could be put on “Padmavati”, Ranveer told the media: “Thank you very much for coming out today and before some ruckus happens here, I need to get out of here.”

The actor will be seen as Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji in the movie, which Bhansali says is a tribute to the valour of Rajput queen Padmavati.

The film is in the eye of a storm following protests from conservative groups over alleged tampering of historical facts — a contention Bhansali has denied repeatedly.

The film was earlier decided to be released on December 1st but now it has been deferred as the filmmakers are yet to secure a censor certificate.
