Ranveer Singh Or Shahid Kapoor! Deepika Padukone Reveals Whose Contribution Was More Important In Padmaavat’s Success

The journey of Padmaavat started the day it was entitled ‘Padmavati’. With no stone unturned, Bhansali has won the millions of hearts with the glorified past of Rajputs. After a lot of protests and a long wait, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmaavat has finally hit screens on January 25.

Soon after the movie released, Ranveer bagged all the attention followed by Deepika, and it is Shahid who was deserted both in terms of shooting and post-release moments. There are several speculations that went saying that there are disputes between Ranveer and Shahid and the same has continued till the end of shooting because of which they even promoted the movie individually.

After playing the lead in Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have developed a certain level of comfort and understanding with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. So when the time came for their third collaboration with Padmaavat, the taskmaster, who enjoys a reputation for being difficult to work with, had widely established that Ranveer and Deepika are one of his favorite muses.

Shahid was upset with the way he and his work was treated and opened up about his views in a press meet. Shahid said, “I’m used to being the favorite of all my filmmakers. This was the first time that I was like an outsider. When you work with a team that has worked together, you are kind of an outsider and it takes time for you to break through that barrier.”

Reacting to the same, Ranveer reportedly said that he did his best to welcome him and be a supportive actor. However, it was Shahid’s first costume drama and it feels different from regular films.

“To be honest, I did my best to welcome him and did whatever I could do to be a supportive co-actor. But I think it’s got to do with the genre as well. I think Padmaavat is Shahid’s first costume drama and a costume drama has its own set of unique challenges which I had faced during Bajirao Mastani and it takes some time to get adapted to it. I think he’s reacting to that,” Ranveer said.

While DeePee who played Rani Padmini in the film has been silent about this whole issue, till now, she finally opened up about it.

Talking about her male co-stars in the period drama, Deepika Padukone said, “For me, Ranveer’s contribution in the film, as well as Shahid’s, is something I will always cherish. It was very gracious and big-hearted of them to give so much to this film. I am so happy that together we get to celebrate the success but like I said it’s not over, yet as this weekend will be exciting.” When asked to comment on the alleged rivalry between Shahid and Ranveer, she said, “I don’t think I have anything to say about it.”
