It looks like the certificate for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati will elude the film, for a while longer at least. Sources close to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) say plans to finally view Padmavati this week have been put off.

The reason, according to sources, is the dispute over the disclaimer mentioned in the application for certification by the Padmavati producers, which has raised many new questions.

A source close to the CBFC, says, “The new disclaimer on the application form of Padmavati has created a whole new debate as to how the film needs to be viewed and certified. At the moment, we can only reveal that it is a complicated process that requires experts to intervene.”

With these complications further impeding the process of certification, it seems unlikely that Padmavati will be released in the near future.
