DEEPIKA to kick off Padmavati with Rajasthani dance
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ambitious project “Padmavati”, which has gone through a lot of problems, is finally gearing up to roll the cameras next week. The first sequence will be a song shoot featuring Deepika Padukone, performing a Rajasthani folk dance.
A set has been constructed at Mehboob Studio in Mumbai, similar to that of Padmavati's Water Palace in Rajasthani's Chittorgarh Fort. Since the dance sequence doesn't require Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, the actors will start shooting separately sometime later.
“Deepika has already done a look test for the film and Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor will be doing the same in a couple of days, separately. Both have been growing their beards and hair to play their respective characters — Shahid as the Rajput king Rana Ratan Singh of Chittor and Ranveer as the Sultan of Delhi, Alauddin Khilji,” a source was quoted as saying.
“Padmavati” will see Deepika portraying the character of the queen of Chittor Rani Padmavati, while Ranveer will play the role of ruler Alauddin Khilji, a negative role. Shahid will be seen playing Rani Padmavati's husband, King Ratan Singh of Chittor.
