Ironically, Padmaavat became the first film to have 3D release
The ban comes at a time when this epic drama starring Shahid, Ranveer and Deepika is set to become India's first movie to have a Global IMAX 3D release. Initially, the film was scheduled to release on December 1, but after much ado, it got a release date of January 25. It remains to be seen if any other state would now follow suit.
