Mr Joshi clarified yesterday that the certification process of Padmavat is complete and reports about cuts are simply "untrue".

"The makers have submitted the final film with agreed five modifications, these modifications have tried to incorporate observations and suggestions given by the advisory panel and also in keeping with the sentiments of society.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavat stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor and is based on the 16th century epic poem "Padmavat" by Malik Muhammad Jayasi. Reports suggest that it is slated for a January 25 release where it will clash at the box office with Akshay Kumar's PadMan - a fact that has led to more jokes on Twitter.
