Pre-Post Production and Casting :

Pre-Production :

Sanjay Leela Bhansali already worked in worked on a television adaptation as an assistant editor for Shyam Benegal’s television series Bharat Ek Khoj (1988), based on Jawaharlal Nehru’s The Discovery of India (1946), featuring an episode about Padmavat starring Om Puri as Alauddin Khilji. Film story is an adaptation of Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s epic Padmavat (1540), Sanjay Leela Bhansali had been planning a film adaptation for a decade.

In 2008, Bhansali produced an opera version in Paris, inspiring him to start work on a film version. Padmaavat also took inspiration from other earlier adaptations of the epic, including Bengali literary adaptations from Kshirode Prasad Vidyavinode in 1906 and Abanindranath Tagore in 1909, the Tamil film Chittoor Rani Padmini (1963), and the Hindi film Maharani Padmini (1964).

Film Pre-production work started in July 2016. That same month, playback singer Shreya Ghoshal tweeted about performing a song composed by Bhansali for the film. Many media outlets speculated that Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, who played the leads in Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013) and Bajirao Mastani (2015), were finalized to play Alauddin Khilji and Rani Padmavati in the film.

Official announcement done in October 2016, that Bhansali would jointly produced the film with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures with lead casting are Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone with Shahid Kapoor as Rawal Ratan Singh, playing the lead roles.

Casting of the Padmaavat movie :

Sanjay Leela Bhansali working third time with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The earlier film is Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela (2013) and Bajirao Mastani (2015), while it is Shahid Kapoor’s first film with the Bhansali. Priyanka Chopra was also in consideration to play the title role.

Shahrukh Khan was also offered the part but felt it was not “good” enough and declined; failure to agree on his fee may have been a factor. Shahid Kapoor was finally cast to play Ratan Singh with an assurance of a good enough part and a heavy fee. For his role, Shahid Kapoor undertook rigorous training under trainer Samir Jaura and followed a strict diet for 40 days. He also learnt sword fighting and the basics of Mardani khel, a weapon-based martial art, and stated that it had been one of the most physically and emotionally challenging roles of his career.

Ranveer Singh portrays the antagonist of the film, Alauddin Khilji, the first negative role of his career. Director Bhansali had given him books to read delving into the psyche of dark rulers of history such as Adolf Hitler, asserting that he had to completely forget who he was before he could play Khilji.

Ranvir Singh trained under Mustafa Ahmed to get into proper shape for the role. The actor worked out twice a day for six days a week. Playing Khilji so affected Singh’s personality and behaviour that he had to see a psychiatrist to return to normal.

Jaya Bachchan recommended Aditi Rao Hydari’s name to Bhansali for the role of Khilji’s first wife, Mehrunisa. Bhansali cast Hydari over four other choices. She is the only member of the star cast who actually belongs to a royal lineage.

Alauddin’s paternal uncle and Khilji dynasty founder, Sultan Jalaluddin Khilji’s role given to Veteran actor Raza Murad. Raza Murad has earlier worked with Bhansali in Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani. Jim Sarbh portrays Malik Kafur, a prominent eunuch slave-general of Alauddin Khilji. Sarbh learned horse-riding for the role.

Film related Controversy :

The film started controversial during production. Several Rajput caste organisations mainly Shri Rajput Karni Sena and its members had protested and later destroyed the film sets claiming that the film portrays the Padmavati, a Rajput queen, in bad light. They had also assaulted Bhansali on a film set.

The Sena had made further threats of violence, during film shooting a scene in Masai Plateau, Kolhapur at night in October 2017, some people attacked and set the set burned, injuring animals and destroying several costumes. Several Muslim leaders also protested against the alleged misrepresentation of Ala-ud-din Khilji and called for a ban.

In the days leading up to the film’s release, there were violent protests and riots in several parts of India. In Haryana, the protestors had attacked several vehicles and also damaged a school bus.

Bhansali and Deepika Padukone had received threats of violence and death. The film makers received support from the film community and industry associations including the Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association, Cine & TV Artists Association, Western India Cinematographers’ Association, Association of Cine & Television Art Directors & Costume Designers.

The major political parties across India took conflicting stands. Several members and leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called for a ban on the film. The Rajasthan State unit of the Indian National Congress (INC) had also called for ban.

The controversies surrounding the film re-opened the question of film censorship in India and the country’s freedom of expression. The Supreme Court dismissed a petition calling to stop the film’s release citing the freedom of speech and expression.

The movie is also banned in Malaysia by the Home Ministry due to its negative portrayal of a Muslim ruler and for touching its sentivities of Islam since Malaysia is predominantly a Muslim nation.

Padmaavat movie Reviews :

This film reviews are mostly mix to positive reviews from critics and also Very Good responce from audience as well.

Critics reviews :

• Neil Soans from Times of India gave 4 star out of 5 star and writes that “The director’s expertise in heightening opulence and grandeur is well-known, further distinguishable in 3D. Cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee compliments him by beautifully capturing some jaw-dropping scenery. However, the effects in the action/ war scenes don’t meet the expectations raised by a film of this scale. Also, the songs don’t do much to further the narrative other than providing visual delight. Granted, it could do with a tauter screenplay and shorter run-time but ‘Padmaavat’ is an entertaining, large canvas experience, brought to life with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s stroke of visual brilliance.”
• Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express gave 2.5 star from 5 star and writes that “If there’s one thing that keeps us from brooding too much through the film, it is Ranveer Singh, he is electric.so is the attraction between the galloping outsider and the lovely queen: it is their doomed love story, whose embers rain on the screen, that we take away with us.”
• Raja Sen on NDTV gave only 1.5 star out of 5 star and criticize the film by stating that “Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Boring Film Doesn’t Do Justice To Deepika Padukone.”
• Firstpost film critics Anna MM Vetticad gave only 1 star from 5 star and noted that “Bhansali couches regressive, opportunistic messaging in exhausting visual splendour.”
• Ananya Bhattacharya from India today gave 3/5 star and mentioned that “Ranveer Singh outshines everyone in this Deepika film, As the mad king, Singh is unspeakably brilliant.”
