"Padmaavat" is a 13th-century saga about Queen Padmavati (Padukone), known for her beauty and wisdom, and her husband, Maharawal Ratan Singh (Kapoor) of Mewar. The film&rsquo;s plot unfolds with Sultan Alauddin Khilji&rsquo;s obsessive pursuit of Padmavati, leading to an invasion of Chittor, where the queen takes extreme measures to protect her kingdom.
Based on the epic poem "Padmavat" by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi, the film sparked significant controversy upon its original release, particularly due to protests from Rajput groups over its portrayal of Queen Padmavati.
"Padmaavat" joins the list of older films being re-released in theatres. Other titles like "Laila Majnu", "Rockstar", "Gangs of Wasseypur", "Karan Arjun", "Tumbbad", and "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" have also made their way back to the big screen in recent months.

Despite the swirling rumours, Sanjay Leela Bhansali assured fans that Love And War is an entirely original creation, marking his much-anticipated reunion with Ranbir Kapoor after 18 years.

Bhansali Sets the Record Straight: Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor’s 'Love And War' Is No Sangam Remake

<h2>Despite the swirling rumours, Sanjay Leela Bhansali assured fans that Love And War is an entirely original creation, marking his much-anticipated reunion with Ranbir Kapoor after 18 years.</h2>

Ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has put the rumours surrounding his upcoming film &lsquo;Love And War&rsquo; to rest. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the acclaimed director confirmed that the film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, is not a remake of the 1964 classic &lsquo;Sangam&rsquo;.
&lsquo;Why would I remake Sangam? You don&rsquo;t remake Sholay or Mother India, do you?&rsquo; Bhansali quipped, dispelling the speculation. He explained that &lsquo;Love And War&rsquo; is a deeply personal project for him, and unlike his past films, it doesn't feature period settings, elaborate costumes, or grandiose sets.
&lsquo;It's contemporary, with different music. It's a new territory for me, and I&rsquo;m loving it,&rsquo; he said.
Despite the swirling rumours, Sanjay Leela Bhansali assured fans that Love And War is an entirely original creation, marking his much-anticipated reunion with Ranbir Kapoor after 18 years.
&lsquo;It&rsquo;s exciting to work with Ranbir again,&rsquo; Bhansali said.
Their last collaboration was on Saawariya in 2007, and the director is eager to present a fresh side of the actor.
Bhansali also showered praise on his other lead actors. Alia Bhatt, who previously won accolades for Gangubai Kathiawadi, is back, and the director feels there's still much more to explore with her.
&lsquo;Alia is a powerhouse. There&rsquo;s so much left to tap into,&rsquo; Bhansali fondly remarked. This will also be Vicky Kaushal's first time working with the celebrated director.
Expressing a deep emotional connection with the cast, Bhansali stressed how important the film is to him. However, he noted the challenging nature of the project and that he is approaching it with care. &lsquo;It&rsquo;s difficult, so I won&rsquo;t take my actors or the audience for granted,&rsquo; he explained.
Fans will have to be patient, as Love And War is set to release in March 2026.

Vivek Agnihotri recently took a dig at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi' for glamorising courtesans and brothels. 

Vivek Agnihotri slams Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi', praises Pakistani netizen for criticising it

<h2>Vivek Agnihotri recently took a dig at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi' for glamorising courtesans and brothels.&nbsp;</h2>
&nbsp;

'The Kashmir Files' director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri recently took a dig at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Dimaond Bazaar'. The filmmaker, taking to X, also praised a Pakistani doctor who slammed SLB's show for its perceived inauthentic portrayal of the historical period and location.
<h3>Pakistani viewer slams SLB's show&nbsp;</h3>
The viewer, who goes by the username of Hamd Nawaz, criticised 'Heermanadi' for its false depiction of events, locations and costumes. Saying it has everything but 'Heermandi in it', the netizen on X argued that the show does not accurately represent 1940s Lahore.
"Just watched Heeramandi. Found everything but heermandi in it. I mean either you don&rsquo;t set your story in 1940&rsquo;s Lahore, or if you do- you don&rsquo;t set it in Agra&rsquo;s landscape, Delhi&rsquo;s Urdu, Lakhnavi dresses and 1840&rsquo;s vibe. My not-so-sorry Lahori self can&rsquo;t really let it go (sic)," the user wrote.&nbsp;
In another tweet, Nawaz expressed dismay over the representation of set, soundtrack, dialogues and casting. "To begin with, where exactly is it set? Lake Como? Amalfi Coast? The most evident landmark still visible from every building in today&rsquo;s remnants of Heera Mandi is the Shahi Qilla-Grand Mosque&rsquo;s doom and minarets skyline. If you call it Lahore, show Lahore (sic)," she wrote.
Further, she pointed out the error in language and diction by writing,"And Language. Bhansali entire mental logic flows like -hmm&gt;&gt;&gt;Heeramandi&gt;&gt;&gt;Lahore&gt;&gt;&gt;Muslims&gt;&gt;&gt;Urdu&gt;&gt;&gt;Garhi Urdu&gt;&gt;&gt;Mughal-e-Azam/Mizra Ghalib Tier Urdu&gt;&gt;&gt;cast Urdu actors?&gt;&gt;&gt;Na, let&rsquo;s force the language. The catch is, 1940&rsquo;s average Lahori didn&rsquo;t even converse in Urdu, but Punjabi (sic)."
<h3> What Vivek said:&nbsp;</h3>
Retweeting Hamd Nawaz's tweets, Vivek wrote, "A brilliant critique by @_SophieSchol. I haven&rsquo;t seen the show, but I have visited Heeramandi in Lahore a few times. Bollywood has this tendency to romanticize courtesans and brothels. It&rsquo;s a sad commentary because brothels have never been places of opulence, glamour or beauty. These are monuments of human injustice, pain and suffering. Those unfamiliar with this should watch Shyam Benegal&rsquo;s Mandi."
"Also, a question we must ask: Does creativity give us the freedom to glamorise human suffering? Is it okay to make a film where slum life is depicted as a life of abundance? Is it okay to portray slum dwellers wearing clothes as if they are attending an Ambani wedding? Pl discuss," he added.

We are all born to women-kind,&rsquo; the director said.
<h3>About &lsquo;Heeramandi&rsquo;</h3>

Ameesha shared that the filmmaker sent her a beautiful letter and when she met him, he said that she should retire as she achieved in two films which most people don't achieve in their entire career.

Bajirao Mastani (2015) Cast: Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra
The epic historical romance narrates the story of the Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I (1700&ndash;1740 AD) and his second wife, Mastani who struggle to make their love triumph amid opposition from his conservative family.

Vidya Balan has questioned women&rsquo;s existence in the industry and asked why only director Sanjay Leela Bhansali walked away with all the credits for &lsquo;Gangubai Kathiawadi&rsquo;.

Actor Vidya Balan questioned why director Sanjay Leela Bhansali walked away with all the credits for the &lsquo;Gangubai Kathiawadi&rsquo;, starring Alia Bhatt. During her appearance on a roundtable interview conducted by Film Companion, she said that misogyny is the reason why Alia didn&rsquo;t receive praise in the manner that a male actor would after delivering a massive hit. &nbsp;
Vidya asked, &lsquo;How come Gangubai did well? If a woman&rsquo;s film does well, it&rsquo;s the director&rsquo;s credit, and this is ridiculous.&rsquo;
She further added, &lsquo;We worked so hard as women to have a certain standing today, where we&rsquo;re headlining films. More and more actresses are doing that. I love how post-pandemic, because the men&rsquo;s films aren&rsquo;t working, they suddenly turn around and say that the women&rsquo;s films aren&rsquo;t going to work all the more. How ridiculous? I really want to say, &lsquo;What about Gangubai?&rsquo; It did more than most male-driven films.&rsquo;
On the work front, Vidya Balan will be seen in &lsquo;Neeyat&rsquo;. She also has an untitled film alongside Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D&rsquo;Cruz and Sendhil Ramamurthy in the pipeline.

It’s been a while since we saw the ageless diva Rekha on the silver screen. The last time she was seen in a Bollywood film was Inder Kumar’s ‘Super Nani’.
For all the countless fans of the legend, here is some good news for you. The news is that Rekha is in ‘advanced talks’ with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his Netflix’s web show ‘Heeramandi’, as per a report in Bollywood Hungama. The role offered to Rekha has been reportedly tailor-made for Rekha.
Much before ‘Heeramandi’ was decided to be made into a web show, it was to be made into a feature film. If the rumors are to be believed, then, heroines like Priyanka Chopra, Madhuri Dixit, Tabu and Shabana Azmi had turned down the script.
In an earlier interview with Variety magazine, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had said that ‘Heeramandi’ was a huge saga about the courtesans of Lahore, and it was something he was living with for 14 years.
As per a media report, the cast of ‘‘Heeramandi’ includes actors like Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditi Rao Hydari.
