Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat' is breaking the box office and an elated Deepika Padukone recently opened up to a leading daily about the movie and her co-stars. She said, “I don’t think 'Padmavati' would have been 'Padmavati' without Ranveer as Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Maha Rawal Ratan Singh. They have done what they have done with a big heart and a lot of generosity and I recognize that; for the work that they have put in and for the risks that both of them have taken for the film. A lot of people advised them to not do the film because the film was the name of the female protagonist.”
And while she praised Shahid Kapoor in the film immensely, she also spoke very fondly of her other co-star, Ranveer Singh. “That’s the equation he and I share. That’s what he and I cherish the most, that we can be brutally honest with each other." Taking about his stardom, she said, “Absolutely, I do feel that he has some way to go (to achieve stardom). I think his performance has catapulted him into that position in a very big way.”
About Ranveer Singh’s performance in the film, Deepika said, “I think he delivered a performance that he literally sunk his teeth into. He wasn’t awkward with the part. It looked like he enjoyed every minute of it. Ranveer Singh’s performance in 'Padmaavat' has catapulted him into a very fine place.”
Well, we bet many will agree with Deepika that Ranveer was just phenomenal on the big screen in the role he played in the movie.
