Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set with his dream project Padmavati starring the Mastani Deepika Padukone as the protagonist and Shahid Kapoor as the husband. Surprisingly, the Bajirao Ranveer Singh will be seen as the antagonist portraying an arrogant persona in his character.
Deepika and Shahid are playing an intensely in love wife and husband in Padmavati. In fact, the two will be seen romancing each other. Bhansali is also expected to feature a romantic number for them with lots of poetry.
Sadly, for all the Deepika-Ranveer fans, the Befikre star gets to sing no songs in the film. He is indeed playing an arrogant warrior that is exactly opposite of Shahid’s charming and gentle poetic character in the film.
This is going to be a challenging phase for Ranveer Singh as he is expected to play a character that completely isolates him from his real self.
