‘Padmavati’ is the latest directorial masterpiece by none other than one of the most sought-after directors in Bollywood, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Bhansali, who’s been known for his elaborate sets, star-crossed love stories and grandeur, takes on another historical film. They hype around ‘Padmavati’ has been real. From controversies to delays, from set vandalism to protests – the film has seen it all.

Since this is the third film he’s doing with this gorgeous pair. Whether it was Goliyoun Ki Rasleela: Raam Leela, or Bajirao Mastani, the couple has wowed us time and time again under Bhansali’s direction.

 

The story of Padmavati  is a beautiful tale of love, lust, and war

The story revolves around the Muslim ruler Alauddin Khilji and his utter obsession with Rani Padmini, the wife of Rawal Ratan Singh – the king of Chittorgarh. Legend has it, Ratan Singh had a subject who would practice black magic, called Raghav Chetan. When he was found practicing black magic illegally in the kingdom, he was banished from the land. It was then that he turned to Delhi, to the courts of the conquerer Alauddin Khilji. He ignited to Sultan’s curiosity about Rani Padmini after singing the endless praise of her beauty. He, then, marched onto Chittorgarh, setting camp outside the fort. He negotiated his return, with the King, on the condition of getting a glimpse of his queen. Apprehensive at first, Ratan Singh agreed to grant Khilji a glimpse of his wife, because he didn’t want to face any backlash from the army right outside his fort. The story then takes on from there.
