Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor And Ranveer Singh Starrer Padmavati Has Officially Been Renamed As Padmaavat!
Weeks after CBFC suggested to change the name of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati to Padmaavat, the makers have officially accepted the suggestion. The makers have changed the name on all social media sites, namely Twitter and Instagram, and are expected to change the same in the official poster, trailer and released songs as well. 

CBFC cleared the film last week with five modifications. Viacom said in a press statement: “We appreciate the balanced and considered approach that CBFC has taken to address this situation,” and listed the five modifications suggested by the CBFC.
The five modifications included title change from "Padmavati" to Padmaavat as the filmmakers have attributed their creative source as the fictional poem Padmaavat and not history.

They were even asked to add two disclaimers -- one that clearly does not claim historical accuracy, and another which makes the point that the film in no manner subscribes to the practice of Sati or seeks to glorify it.
“Bhansali Productions and Viacom18 Motion Pictures, as producers, have accepted and have made all the above changes. We believe that these changes are in line with the filmic depiction of the story we wanted to tell. We firmly deny all speculation on extensive cuts to the film and want to reiterate that only the above changes and disclaimers per guidance of the CBFC have been made. We have full faith in the CBFC and in the transparent, fair and inclusive process that has been followed,” the statement said.

The film features Deepika Padukone in the title role as Rani Padmini, alongside Ranveer Singh as Khilji, and Shahid Kapoor as Rawal Ratan Singh, and also Aditi Rao Hydari.Jointly produced by Bhansali and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
