A rumour about upcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali film ‘Padmavati’ has come up that the film team is about to up the budget, learning from the Baahubali sequel.

However, this rumour has recently been rubbished by the team of ‘Padmavati’. Debunking the rumour, a source close to the movie informed media that there are “no plans to increase the budget after the success of Baahubali 2. This is totally wrong information.”

He even said that we’ve got the amount for the initial budget wrong. “The budget is not even Rs 160 cr”, he said. “This information is not true at all.” The Deepika Padukone starrer is set to hit the screens on November 17th.
