help Padmaavat FAQ
Is Padmaavat based on a true story?
The film draws mainly from Malik Muhammad Jayasi's epic poem Padmavat, written centuries after Alauddin Khilji's reign. Historians generally distinguish the poem's legendary Queen Padmavati from securely documented events involving Khilji and Chittor.
Who plays Padmavati, Ratan Singh, and Alauddin Khilji?
Deepika Padukone plays Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor plays Maharawal Ratan Singh, and Ranveer Singh plays Sultan Alauddin Khilji. Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed the film and composed its songs.
Why does Alauddin Khilji attack Chittor in Padmaavat?
After hearing of Padmavati's beauty from the exiled priest Raghav Chetan, Khilji becomes determined to possess her. His obsession leads him to deceive Ratan Singh and wage war against Chittor.
Why was the title changed from Padmavati to Padmaavat?
The production faced protests and controversy before its 2018 release. The final title Padmaavat more explicitly connected the film to Jayasi's poem rather than presenting it as a direct historical biography.
