Rumours and sources earlier all hinted at Padmaavat's release on the 25th of January. However, the makers of the film kept silent on the release date to avoid any further chaos.

Looks like mum's not the word anymore... Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor both finally took to Twitter to confirm the worldwide release date of Padmaavat along with their personal poster from the film. It'll be the first Indian film to have an IMAX 3D release.

“Padmaavat is a cinematic masterpiece in every sense of the word. We hope that we will surpass the expectations of our fans from across the world. We are humbled with the immense support we have received from the government authorities, the Central Board of Film Certification and the entire film fraternity,” said Sudhanshu Vats, Group CEO, Viacom18. He further added, “Padmaavat is a story that’s inherently Indian in its context, ethos and values. In the past, international film-makers have presented Indian stories such as Gandhi, Life of Pi, The Jungle Book and others to the world. We believe that this is the right time for us to truly make in India and show the world a tale that every Indian is proud of.”

The film will witness a mega-scale release across maximum screens, languages & formats covering 2D, 3D & Imax 3D in India & the world.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “Padmaavat is a dream come true for me. I have always been fascinated by the stories of honor, valor and vigor of our great Rajput warriors that have been captured so beautifully in our literature and this movie is my homage to those glorious stories. I would also like to thank the entire film fraternity for supporting Viacom18 and Bhansali Productions through the entire production and pre-release phase and hope they like the film they so supported.”

The period drama is all set to hit the theatres in 3D, Imax 3D, Tamil and Telugu as well.

It will hit the screen along with Akshay Kumar's PadMan.
