Reportedly, CBFC has specifically told the filmmakers
that they will put the film in the queue when it comes back to them. When a
film is sent to CBFC for certification, they generally take 68 days from the
time of receiving the application to give the certificate.
"When they (makers) rectify the deficiency, we will
again scrutinize it
once more and when the turn comes we will examine it (film for
certification)," a CBFC personnel told a leading daily.

Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, confirmed
the development and said, “That’s true. But film is with the CBFC, it is merely
a minor technical issue. Nothing stops them from seeing the film if they want.
Padmavati starring Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh is set
for December 1 release.”
He denied the possibilities of the film’s release date being pushed.
Well, new troubles unfold for Team Padmavati every day.
The big question remains- Will the film win against all the odds?
