We all are excitedly waiting for the release of Padmavati’s trailer, which scheduled to come at 13:03 today. However, we intrigued by the unusual way the makers have chosen to promote their film so far. From releasing the first look of actors Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, during the wee hours to now deciding to launch the first look of the film during an odd timing of 13:03, Padmavati is surely keeping us on our toes and we are brimming with loads of curiosity. But thereis a reason to why the trailer launched digitally at 13:03 hour.

Reason of trailer launched digitally at 13:03 hour

Apparently, back in 1303, Alaudin Khijli (character of Ranveer Singh) and Raja Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor) had a face off for the first time ever. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala tweeted, “. @deepikapadukone , @shahidkapoor and @RanveerOfficial ‘s #PadmavatiTrailer releases @ 13:03 bcos it was in 1303 AD King & Khilji faced off.”

In fact, even Wikipedia reads, “In 1303, Alauddin Khalji, the Turkic ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, laid siege to the Chittor Fort in Rajputana. According to Padmavat, Khalji led the invasion motivated by his desire to capture Rani Padmini. (as mentioned in Padmavat,an epic poem written in 1540 CE.)”
