After battling incidents of vandalism and workers' union strike, the 'Padmavati' team has overcome all adversities to make it in time for the release by the year-end. Sanjay Leela Bhansali kickstarts the promotional spree of his labour of love today, by launching the first look of Deepika Padukone from the film. The filmmaker thought it apt to bring forth his vision of the legendary Rani Padmini as the country prepares for devi sthapana (first day of Navratri).
