Padmaavat Controversy Was Hugely Infuriating: Ranveer Singh
Ranveer Singh revealed that Padmaavat's unwanted controversy was infuriating and he had t control his emotions and anger as to not speak out anything as it might further hamper the films release.
"Padmaavat" makers
may
be
celebrating
'50
glorious
days'
of
the
film
in
theatres,
which
has
made
over
300
crores,
but
Ranveer
Singh
still
seems
to
be
affected
by
the
controversy
as
the
actor
says
it
was
"infuriating"
for
him
to
see
his
director
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
go
through
the
"assault".
The
32-year-old
actor,
who
essayed
the
role
of
Alauddin
Khilji
in
the
magnum
opus,
said
the
drama
surrounding
the
film
and
its
release
"left
him
full
of
rage",
but
the
makers
had
categorically
told
him
not
react.
"It
was
a
very
frustrating
process
because
none
of
this
was
in
my
control.
It
was
hugely
infuriating.
It
had
left
me
full
of
rage
and
wanting
to
act
out.
Wanting
to
say
and
wanting
to
do
something
about
what
I
was
seeing
which
I
thought
was
absolutely
wrong.
"But
I
couldn't
do
anything.
Moreover,
I
was
asked
not
to
do
anything...
I
wasn't
leading
the
line
to
fight
back.
It
was
the
producers
and
my
producer-director.
I
had
to
respect
what
they
asked
me
categorically
to
do
which
is
'you
please
stay
out
of
it.
You
don't
say
anything.
Anything
you
say
will
get
picked
up.
This
matter
is
going
to
get
worse...
Please
control
your
emotions.'"
Ranveer
said.
The
actor
was
in
conversation
with
Rajeev
Masand
at
News18
Rising
India
Summit.
Ranveer
said
the
kind
of
protest
the
film
faced
was
"bizarre" and
he
found
it
appalling.
"I
was
like
'I
can't
believe
that
this
is
2018.
This
is
so
blatant
that
it's
bizarre'.
It
borders
on
fascism.
I
found
it
appalling.
Initially
I
was
shocked
which
turned
into
rage
because
when
the
first
incident
happened
on
the
sets
and
the
assault
on
Mr
Bhansali...when
I
saw
visuals
of
that
I
was
out
of
control.
"...
I
was
supposed
to
be
on
sets
that
day.
I
was
going
to
fly
in
from
Hyderabad
and
that
was
supposed
to
be
my
first
day.
So
for
me
to
see
those
visuals
of
violence
it
was
so
infuriating...
you
can't
do
that
to
somebody
I
love," he
said.
The
actor
said
the
delay
the
film
faced
took
a
toll
on
him
as
he
had
to
sit
and
wait
for
the
project
to
get
finished.
"I
would
be
sitting
at
home
for
months
committed
to
one
film.
Just
sitting,
not
shooting
and
not
knowing
whether
this
film
will
get
completed.
The
largest
chunk
of
my
work
in
the
film
was
shot
towards
the
very
end.
And
it
was
very
taxing
because
a
costume
drama
can
be
a
very
heavy
process," he
added
.
