Deepika Padukone in 'Padmavati'Deepika Padukone's first look from Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Padmavati is out and fans are too excieted.
Deepika took to Twitter and shared the first look saying, "On the auspicious occasion of Navratras, meet Queen padmavati Devi."
The poster has Deepika in a royal avatar dressed in ghaghra-choli and exquisite jewelry.
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali -- known for his grand period dramas -- Padmavati also features Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.
Padmavati tells the story of Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi ruler who fell in love with Rajput queen Padmavati.
The movie's shoot went through a lot of hurdles.
In January, activists of outfit Shri Rajput Karni Sena had assaulted Bhansali and vandalised the movie's Jaipur set over alleged distortions in the film's script.
Later, once the filmmaker had moved the film's shoot to Maharashtra, an outdoor set of the historic period drama in Kohlapur was reduced to ashes after two dozen unidentified persons torched it in March.
