Now, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has pitched in and stated that the Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor starrer film will not be released in Rajasthan.

After a lengthy battle, 'Padmavat' is finally releasing on January 25.

However, some reports claim that the makers are now considering a February 9 release.

Either way, it will clash with one or the other big movies: Akshay Kumar's 'Padman' is releasing on January 25, while Anushka Sharma's 'Pari' will come on February 9.

But, beggars can't be choosers. Can they?
