Padmavati to release in Paris

Padmavati, which was first performed as a stage play by Sanjay Bhansali in Paris in 2008, will have a special release in the French city. While the entire plan is yet to be formulated, the Parisian release of Padmavati is touted to be a big one. A source close to SLB’s production house, says “Devdas had one of the biggest ever releases in Paris for an Indian film. Padmavati, which is a familiar tale to the Parisians, thanks to the opera staged in 2008, will be released on an even bigger scale.”

Earlier, the plans were to dub the film in French for the Paris release. But this move was seen as detrimental to the mood and flavour of the  film. The Parisian version would now be released with French subtitles.
