The period drama is slated to release this Friday.

The Supreme Court, last week paved the way for all- India release of Padmaavat by staying notifications/ orders issued by the Rajasthan and Gujarat governments prohibiting exhibition of the film on the ground of law and order.

However, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh had filed a plea seeking modification in the top court’s order. The SC, on Tuesday, refused to modify its earlier order which had cleared the decks for the nationwide release of the magnum opus, saying people must understand that orders of the apex court have to be “abided with”.

The film, starring Deepika, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, was slated for release on December 1 last year, but was postponed as the makers could not obtain a certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) then.
