Shahid Kapoor is all set for the release of his upcoming magnum opus 'Padmavati' which will see him essay the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh. Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali the film also stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh in lead roles. The movie is slated to release on December 1, 2017.
Recently, Shahid spoke to a leading entertainment media portal. When asked if working on a Bhansali movie was difficult for him, the actor stated, "Honestly, in the last few years, I think most of the things I have been doing have been challenging, or have been firsts of some kind — 'Haider', 'Rangoon' and 'Udta Punjab' are all different from anything I’ve done before, so that’s something I’ve gotten used to. I don’t know if nervous is the right word. I would say I’m very interested in knowing how people receive the film and what they think about it. We’ve worked on it for a year, so obviously it’s a huge part of our lives. I tell everyone that I feel like I’ve had two babies this year — Misha and this movie."
He further added, "Our hearts, souls and all our energy went into this film, and it’s all over my mind. As for working with Bhansali, I think satisfying him was my biggest challenge with this role. His standards are very high, and everyone needs to work very hard to make him happy. That was my only goal. Now, so close to the release, I can’t tell you if I’m happy with my performance and things like that. I’m too emotional about it right now, so I’m not in the right headspace to answer this question. I’d rather people watch the film and answer that question."
