The
makers
of
Padmavati
have
submitted
a
fresh
application
for
a
3D
version
of
the
controversial
film,
which
has
been
awaiting
clearance
from
the
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
(CBFC),
sources
said.
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
submitted
the
new
application,
they
said.
The
period
drama
was
shot
in
2D,
but
the
filmmakers
decided
to
convert
it
to
3D
after
positive
feedback
on
the
3D
trailer,
it
is
learnt.
"The
makers
have
submitted
a
fresh
application
to
us
yesterday
for
the
3D
version.
Now
that
they
have
applied
for
3D
(certification),
we
will
have
to
look
into
the
new
application.
The
2D
application
had
come
to
us
a
while
back,"
a
CBFC
source
told.
"When
there
is
simultaneous
release
of
2D
and
3D
versions,
we
only
certify
the
3D
part,"
the
source
added.
According
to
CBFC
insiders,
the
board
is
yet
to
scrutinise
the
application.
Only
after
that
will
it
see
the
film.
"We
will
have
to
scrutinise
the
application
(again)
and
then
follow
the
due
process.
So
we
have
not
given
them
any
screening
date
yet,"
an
official
said.
The
filmmakers
have
submitted
three
applications,
including
the
latest
3D
one,
to
the
Censor
Board.
The
first
was
returned
because
there
was
no
disclaimer.
A
formal
decision
on
the
second
application
is
still
pending
with
the
board.
The
film
was
supposed
to
be
released
on
December
1
but
the
makers
have
deferred
it
indefinitely.
"We
are
waiting
for
a
screening
date
(from
CBFC).
Our
clock
has
stopped
now,
we
are
just
waiting
and
waiting.
We
will
restart
our
plan
(the
release
date)
once
we
get
the
censor
certificate,"
a
source
close
to
the
producers
told.
Various
Rajput
groups
and
political
leaders
have
accused
Bhansali
of
distorting
history
in
the
movie
by
using
a
romantic
dream
sequence
between
the
Rajput
queen
Padmini
and
Alauddin
Khilji,
a
claim
repeatedly
denied
by
the
filmmaker.
Historians
are
also
divided
on
whether
Padmini
actually
existed.
The
film
stars
Deepika
Padukone,
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Ranveer
Singh
in
the
lead
roles.
