Deepika, whose last Hindi release was Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha opposite Ranbir Kapoor, is currently taking some time off. On Monday, sources said her upcoming magnum opus, Padmavat, will release on January 25 when it will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Padman.

Originally titled Padmavati, the film was supposed to hit theatres on December 1, 2017 but found itself at the centre of controversies, following which, the release was postponed. While several fringe groups claimed the film glorified Alauddin Khilji (played by Ranveer in the movie), a few factions also objected to the movie as they believed the movie demonised Muslims. After a few modifications, a change in the title and a delay of almost two months, the movie will finally hit theatres this month as Padmavat.

"We will not let Padmavati release in the country. We have been protesting peacefully for the last one year. If the film is released on January 25, then theatres will burn," president of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi said.
