The
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
(CBFC)
has
sent
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali-directed
Padmavati
back
to
the
makers
as
the
application
for
the
certification
was
"incomplete".
According
to
the
CBFC,
the
movie,
which
has
been
facing
protest
from
several
Rajput
groups,
will
be
reviewed
as
per
the
set
norms
once
it
is
sent
back
to
the
board
after
sorting
out
the
issue.
"The
film
was
submitted
for
certification
last
week.
We
examined
the
documents,
as
we
normally
do.
It
was
conveyed
to
the
makers
that
their
application
was
incomplete.
They
had
to
rectify
and
send
it
back,
we
will
view
it
when
it
comes
back
to
us,"
a
source
in
the
CBFC
told
PTI.
"When
they
(makers)
rectify
the
deficiency
we
will
again
scrutinise
it
once
more
and
when
the
turn
comes
we
will
examine
it
(film
for
certification),"
the
source
added.
The
source,
however,
refused
to
divulge
details
about
the
"deficiency
in
the
application"
on
account
of
which
it
was
returned
to
the
makers
for
rectification.
When
asked
about
the
date
for
screening
of
the
film,
the
source
said,
"When
it
comes
back
to
us
we
will
put
it
in
queue
and
see
when
the
turn
comes,
there
will
be
no
exception
(in
case
of
'Padmavati')."
Ajit
Andhare,
COO,
Viacom
18
Motion
Pictures,
confirmed
the
reports.
"That's
true.
But
film
is
with
the
CBFC,
it
is
merely
a
minor
technical
issue.
Nothing
stops
them
from
seeing
the
film
if
they
want,"
he
told
PTI.
Padmavati
starring
Deepika
Padukone,
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Ranveer
Singh
is
set
for
December
1
release.
