When the makers of Padmavati announced the names of the final cast for the film, speculations were rife on whether Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh will finally be seen sharing screen time. An official statement from the makers cleared all the air as it stated that the trio have agreed to come together for the period film.
Deepika will be playing the character of the Queen of Mewar, Padmavati with Shahid playing the role of her husband, Raja Raval Ratan Singh while Ranveer portrays the character of Alauddin Khilji, who eyes the beautiful Padmavati and plots to win her. We are yet to know exactly what Sanjay Leela Bhansali plans to portray in the film. The movie is set to go on floors in November and reports suggest that the cast will start shooting for it from next week.
Shahid was on a paternity leave till now and with Rangoon completed, the actor has no other obligations to hold him back from devoting his full attention to the movie. He has already started to work on his physique in order to portray the role of the king.
Deepika too was missing from the scene. The last time when she was spotted, she was shooting for the premiere episode of Bigg Boss 10 with Salman Khan after which, she flew off to America. Reports suggest that the B-town hottie is back and has already started her share of the preparations. Deepika is scheduled to start shooting before her co-stars Shahid and Ranveer, for a dance number.
Bollywood hunk Ranveer Singh is also back from Befikre's trailer launch in Paris. He was recently spotted at a studio in Bandra, looking all set for Padmavati. The actor who will be playing the role of a warrior is currently focussing on preparing his body and getting big for the film. Let us warn you beforehand, those biceps will surely make you drool. The actor received rave reviews on his steamy on-screen chemistry with the beautiful Vaani Kapoor in Befikre and we expect him to pick up where he left off in Padmavati.
