Shahid Kapoor is busy with his Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie Padmavati. Shahid, who plays Deepika Padukone aka Rani Padmavati's husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh in the movie, opened up as to why he chose the SLB movie.
The movie, which features Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji, is all set to release in November.
Shahid said, "It’s an intense, romantic and a very looked-forward-to film for various reasons. I think it’s a labour of love of Bhansali. I had gone mad on Twitter after watching his last film Bajirao Mastani, appreciating everyone, and didn’t know I’d be part of his next film.
It’s awesome to be working with someone whose work I have admired and loved, especially in the recent past. It is a great cast and going to be a huge film. I am really excited, but I want to underplay it, so I am trying to do that right now.”
He added, "I hope when people see the film, they realise that the heart of the film and intent of the film is very good. This country and the people who live in it, and especially the area we are talking about in the film, will be glorified and shown beautifully. I play a Rajput king and my character, I feel, will be admired by people."
Well, isn't that something? Are you looking forward to this one?
In an earlier interview, Shahid had hinted that the movie carries a very strong love story between himself and Deepika Padukone. Can't wait for this one already!
