Padmavati: Controversial film 'cleared by Indian censor board' India's film censor board has cleared the release of controversial Bollywood film Padmavati, reports say. The film, which tells the story of a 14th Century Hindu queen and a Muslim ruler, has sparked nationwide protests by Hindu and caste groups. However the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) told local media it had not recommended any cuts. In November, India's top court rejected an appeal by a lawyer to block the film's global release. Padmavati tells the story of a 14th Century Hindu queen belonging to the high Rajput caste and the Muslim ruler Alauddin Khilji. Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh play the lead roles. Hindu groups and a Rajput caste organisation allege that the movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, depicts an intimate romantic scene between the two characters; the producers of the film deny this. Although a fictional character, Padmavati is deified and held as a symbol of female honour among Rajputs.
