Padmavati to Release in 3D and dubbed in Telugu, Tamil. Ranveer Singh – Shahid Kapoor – Deepika Padukone’s Padmvati will release in 3D Format : Official Details Revealed.

Much like Bajirao Mastani, Padmavati too will be dubbed in Tamil & Telugu hoping to encash on Baahubali 2 fever. Period dramas have scope of doing good business down South provided it connects well with the audience there.

The buzz is that the suggestion came from Hollywood’s Paramount Pictures, parent company of Viacom 18 Motion Pictures which is backing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmavati.

A source tells mid- day, “ The executives were excited after watching the trailer.” The source adds, “ They told producers Viacomthat the film must be seen in 3D for viewers to enjoy the filmmaker’s vision. Bhansali was on board too. In Padmavati, the audiences will experience the battles fought in 3D.” Being mounted on an approximate budget of 170 crore, this decision would make the film a bigger draw and increase its prospects at the box- office.

According to the source, the unit will announce the news with an extensive marketing campaign on 30th October. “Until then, everything is being kept under wraps. Given that time is a constraint, ahead of the film’s 1st December release, a team of Hollywood technicians are working on making it suitable for a B D outing, as the patchwork continues in Mumbai, simultaneously.”

While Bhansali’s movies boast of magnificence, Padmavati, also featuring Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor, will be the first to enjoy a B D release, along with a A D screening. Paramount will release the film in 100 countries. It will also be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu to appeal to a pan- India audience.
