Shahid Kapoor’s reaction on teaming up with Ranveer for Padmavati will FINALLY quash the fallout rumours

Shahid Kapoor FINALLY breaks his silence on teaming up with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone for Padmavati...

A lot has been rumoured about Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor’s ego clashes coz of Padmavati. It was reported that both the actors have been facing huge differences over the mere fact that it’s a two hero project and that who would get the maximum screen time. In fact, some reports even came suggesting how director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is having a tough time thinking what should be done to make peace between Ranveer and Shahid. But guess, all these upsetting rumours can finally set for Shahid Kapoor finally broke his silence on how excited he is to team up with Ranveer, Bhansali and leading lady Deepika Padukone for Padmavati. Yes! 

Hoping to clear all the fuss surrounding Padmavati, Shahid in his media interaction at the Jio MAMI Film Festival today made his very first statement about the film stating, “I’m happy Padmavati has gotten cast the way it has. It’s not a two hero film, it has 3 principal characters. I wish Padmavati came to me 5 years ago. Feel lucky to be a part of Bhansali’s project” Now need he say more?

Not to mention, Padmavati is based on the story of Queen Padmavati, also known as Rani Padmini of Chittor, whose 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. While Ranveer and Shahid have already started to prep up for their looks, it’ll be interesting to see their face off in the film.
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Padmavati is all set to release on November 17, 2017. Keep watching this space for more.
