The issue was with my model which had a unique_together with the field 
removed in it. Fixed migrations are:

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    operations = [
        migrations.AddField(
            model_name='Rendition',
            name='filter2',
            field=models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True),
        ),
        migrations.RunPython(forwards_data_migration, reverse_data_migration
),
        migrations.AlterUniqueTogether('rendition', set([])),
        migrations.RemoveField(model_name='Rendition', name='filter'),
        migrations.DeleteModel('Filter'),
        migrations.RenameField(model_name='Rendition', old_name='filter2', 
new_name='filter'),
        migrations.AlterUniqueTogether('rendition', set([('image', 'filter', 
'focal_point_key')])),
    ]
