Viacom 18’s COO calls ‘Padmavati’ an “epic story”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ is about as grand as it gets. Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are taking on the main roles and Viacom 18 are producing the film. The Chief Operating Officer of Viacom 18, Ajit Andhare, recently spoke about the forthcoming film.

“The film is shaping up very well, and we are confident. It is something you have never seen before. Ranveer, Deepika, Shahid are putting their heart and soul. We are coming on November 17 and at this stage I can say it’s going to be a big release,” said Andhare to PTI.

He further added, “I am a major history buff and I can assure you it is an epic story. The script is very powerful, you will realise once you see the film. Having Sanjay bring it to life on screen, we can’t get better than that”.

The film is slated for release in November.
