Ranveer
Singh
has
already
started
shooting
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
magnum
opus
Padmavati
which
has
him
sharing
screen
space
with
Deepika
Padukone
and
Shahid
Kapoor.
The
actor
reveals
that
playing
Alauddin
Khilji
in
this
film
is
the
toughest
role
he
has
had
to
essay
so
far.
He
was
quoted
saying
to
Hindustan
Times,
"It's
completely
out
of
my
comfort
zone.
It's
a
negative
character.
And
to
make
such
maverick
decisions
at
this
stage
[of
my
career],
is
a
huge
risk.
But
I
have
to
keep
my
creativity
alive.
I
have
always
maintained
that
something
is
worth
doing
only
if
it
thoroughly
scares
you."
The
actor
even
spoke
about
why
he
signed
this
film.
He
added,
"I
had
his
"happy,
fun,
light,
beautiful,
easy,
breezy,
pyaar,
mohabbat
waali
[lovey-dovey]
movie" in
my
upcoming
film
(Befikre).
So,
I
have
jumped
into
something
more
intense
now,
but
it's
extremely
exciting."
Padmavati
has
Shahid
playing
Raja
Rawal
Ratan
Singh
whereas
Deepika
will
be
seen
as
Rani
Patmavati.
The
film
film

obsessive
love
for
Queen
Padmavati
of
Mewar.
