Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor’s Padmavati begins with something sweet – view pic Enough has been said about Padmavati – a film on the historic jouhar by Rani Padmavati and the other women of the castle when Alauddin Khilji raided. It’s a gallant and brave tale. The film has been in the news the moment Bajirao Mastani became a big hit. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone were selected to reunite for the third time with Sanjay Leela Bhansali behind the camera. Later, things started getting a bit dicey with the third lead in the film not getting finalised. First Vicky Kaushal got the boot because of Deepika as she wanted a seasoned actor opposite her in the film. Since then many names did the round and the buck stopped at Shahid Kapoor. The latter however didn’t confirm till a few days back when an official announcement was made. Now that everything is firmly in place, the film is ready to roll and the beginning has been sounded off on a sweet note. Let us explain how.

We are really excited that the film is ready to roll and already has a release date in place. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the news with fans. “Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Sanjay Leela Bhansali finalize release date of #Padmavati: 17 Nov 2017… Stars Ranveer, Deepika and Shahid.,” he tweeted. So we have to wait for a little more than a year to watch this epic period drama roll on screen.
Padmavati is based on the story of Queen Padmavati, also known as Rani Padmini of Chittor, whose fames beauty was the talk of the whole country. Alas! This beauty also proved to be a curse in her life as the Delhi emperor Alauddin Khilji was obsessed with her, even though she was married to Raja Ratan Singh. When Khilji attacks their kingdom and holds the king as his captive, Queen Padmavati self-immolates herself so as not to fall in the enemy’s hand, a tradition that was used to be called Jouhar. Raja Ratan Singh manages to escape his confinement, but he doesn’t manage to reach his queen alive. Deepika Padukone plays Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor plays her husband Raja Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh plays Alauddin Khilji. Ranveer and Shahid have already started to prep up their looks, as Shahid was spotted with a thick moustache, while Ranveer attended the Befikre trailer launch in his full beard which is essential to play Khilji.
