Padmavati row: Shahid Kapoor breaks silence on controversy surrounding his film

After weeks of staying silent on the controversy surrounding his upcoming film Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor has finally spoken out about the delay in release of the film.

In Goa to attend the International Film Festival of India 2017, Kapoor said, "We hope the film releases soon and the authorities help us release the film. I don't know the date (when the film will release)."

While the film's two other lead actors, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have both spoken out about the kind of a storm that Padmavati is currently in, Shhaid has been uncannily quiet all along.
