Padmaavat has hit the big screens on 25th of this month. Now, it has been three days, the movie successfully garnered wide appreciation and affection from all sorts of people from every corner of the country.

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. In the movie, Shahid Kapoor played the role of the valiant Rajput king ‘Ratan Singh’, while Deepika played the lead role ‘Rani Padmini’, and it is Ranveer Singh who donned the ultimate villain character ‘Alauddin Khilji’.

Just as the movie got its release, 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.

Now, speaking to the popular daily, Shahid revealed, “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.”

And he added, “The best thing about Sanjay sir is that he is ruthless in his creative desire. He is extremely intuitive towards artists and his craft. And he doesn’t care whether it is 4 am or midnight, or whether it is 82 days or 100 days or what the cost of one day’s shooting is or if someone is emotionally spent.”

On the other hand, in the recent press meet, that happened yesterday, Shahid went saying that one cannot compare his role with Ranveer. He admitted that his role is minor compared to Deepika and Ranveer’s. Shahid urged people not to compare his role with Ranveer, he then concluded that it was obviously a challenge for him to perform with the two stars who are donning the major roles in the film.

While all this was going one side, earlier, there was a situation when Shahid went commenting that he felt like an outsider at the beginning of the shoot. As we all know that Deepika-Ranveer-Bhansali trio has been working together since a long time, and this is their third movie after Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani, the possibilities of Shahid merging with them very soon is just impossible.

Now, after a while, Bhansali has finally opened up about working with both the amazing actors. He went saying, “With the arrival of Shahid, the new power came on the set of ‘Padmavat’ because I did not work with him earlier, it is really interesting to see how a new actor works. They think about giving. They say that I am happy with this shot, can I do better than this and I would say that stop punishing yourself because I know what I want from you.”

Seeing all such positive vibes around the movie, it looks like Padmaavat got every bit of what it deserved after fighting an ugly battle with the protesters.
