RANVEER SINGH TO GO THE AAMIR KHAN WAY

Sanjay Leela Bhansali known for movies like Black and Ram Leela is busy with his next project Padmavati. The ambitious project stars Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.

Ranveer Singh will be donning the role of the evil ruler Alauddin Khilji in the film. Reports suggest that Ranveer is planning to go the Aamir way as the actor is known to transform into various characters for his different films. Ranveer is ready to walk the extra mile to fully change into Alauddin Khilji.

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor during the recent Jio MAMI festival said, "The film has 3 principle characters. It's not a dual hero subject and these rumours are just ways of creating some kind of material which is exciting."

Opening up about the roles, he stated, "It’s a wonderful opportunity for all 3 of us. It’s a brilliant role for Deepika, a fantastic role for Ranveer and a great one for me. I am happy about the casting and the way it is getting made.”

Talking about Sanjay Leela Bhansali he said, “I wish Padmavati came to me 5-6 years ago. I would have accepted it immediately. But I am happy that it is coming to me today. I am happy that I am working with someone like Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I am grateful for this opportunity.”

The shooting of Padmavati will kickstart from the 1st week of November and the makers are planning to release the movie next year on the 17th November
