anniversary
of

last
year,
Chouhan
had
made
it
clear
that
the
film
would
not
be
allowed
to

in
the
state
if
it
contains
scenes
"breaching
the
honour"
of
the
Rajput
queen
Padmavati
or
features"distorted
facts".
"We
will
not
tolerate
any
distortion
of
historical
facts.
The
entire
country
is
speaking
in
one
voice
that
historical
facts
were
distorted
(in
the
movie)," he
had
said.
The
film
is
mired
in
controversy
after
some
Rajput
groups
opposed
it.

Padukone,
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Ranveer
Singh
in
lead
roles
was
earlier
scheduled
to
be
released
on
