Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus movie ‘Padmaavat’ has hit the big screens on 25th of last month. Now, it has been a week, 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 played the ultimate character ‘Alauddin Khilji’.

Soon after the movie got 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.

Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh is a character that is determined, fierce, and stands tall in the film. The actor said that he has taken a lot of efforts to get into the skin of the character. He also said that his journey of working in the film was very satisfying.

In an interview with a leading daily, the Haider actor reveals about one of the long working days when he had returned from the Padmaavat set and his wife Mira Rajput’s response to the same.

Shahid said, “I remember once I came back from the shoot and Mira asked me, ‘So how did it go?’ because I was filming for nearly 15 hours that day. And I said to her that we didn’t do a single shot that day. She was like, ‘What?’ She turned around and said, ‘But you look really happy.’  I told her, ‘Yes, we didn’t do a shot today, but we have worked towards doing a great shot tomorrow.’ She said, ‘Shahid, you haven’t looked so happy when you have come back from films where you’ve done a lot of work in one day. But you look really content now.’ And essentially that’s how it was. The journey and the process were very satisfying.”

As per the sources, scenes that were shot on that day mostly involved Deepika Padukone.

Shahid also stated that “I told Mira that I am going to take this risk but I have to take this challenge. She helped him a lot while playing this role and without her, I would not have played the role. If it wasn’t for his wife, he would have missed out the opportunity of working with Mr. Bhansali.”
