Watch the trailer of the most anticipated film of the year ‘PADMAVATI’

‘Padmavati’ recounts the tale of Rani Padmavati – the legendary Mewar queen known as much for her beauty and intelligence as she was for her courage, her husband Maharawal Ratan Singh – a glorious Rajput ruler and a warrior king who fought till his dying breath to defend his kingdom and his wife’s honor and Sultan Alauddin Khilji – an ambitious and obsessive invader, who left no stone unturned in his pursuit of Padmavati. Sanjay Leela Bhansali became the first Indian to direct an opera in Paris and Rome with ‘Padmavati’. The opera made its debut at the 51st Spoleto festival, and will now be retold in the form of a visual cinematic extravaganza. Steeped in India’s rich and vibrant culture, adorned with classical folk music and paying tribute to a glorious era, the trailer of ‘Padmavati’ has given audiences a glimpse of the magnanimity of the film, leaving the audience awestruck and garnering unprecedented views across social media platforms for a Bollywood movie trailer. Making headlines since the announcement, a spellbinding tale from master craftsman Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Padmavati has become the most anticipated Indian film of 2017.

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, ‘Padmavati’ stars Deepika Padukone in the lead role of Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh as Sultan Alauddin Khilji.

Padmavati is releasing on December 1.
