The first look of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming period film, Padmavati, is out. Shared by Deepika Padukone, who plays the queen, the first look has her clad in Rajasthani clothes and baubles, and sporting a unibrow – a look almost similar to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s getup in Jodha Akbar.

Jointly produced by Bhansali Productions and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Padmavati will also feature Shahid Kapoor as Padmini’s husband Rana Rawal Ratan Singh. Ranveer Singh will play Alauddin Khilji, who is motivated to kidnap the Rani Padmini. The film is based on the legendary queen from the epic ‘Padmavat’ written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE.
The film, which has had its share of trouble with protesters, is slated to release on December 1.
