The three-minute trailer of Sanjay Leela Bhandali's upcoming 'Padmavati' is magnificiently executed. The first looks of his characters from this Rajput tale from Rajasthan had already created a buzz around the film, the trailer has intensified it further and made the movie into one of the most awaited Bollywood releases of this year.
Scheduled to release on the 1st of December, the move stars Shahid Kapoor (Rawal Ratan Singh), Ranveer Singh (Alauddin Khilji) and Deepika Padukone (Padmavati) as lead actors.
Shahid and Ranveer are consummate actors who look like they have poured their soul into their characters. Deepika looks every bit the Rajput queen she is potraying. While neither of the characters have any dialogues in the trailer, both Deepika and Shahid and voiced-over some of the visuals. However, Ranveer Singh has neither dialogues not voice-over in the trailer but his presence felt as his expressions are as sinister as they are powerful. One of the most diverse actors of this generation, Padmavati is expected to be another feather in this prolific actor's cap.
If the trailer is anything to go by, Sanjay Leela Bhansali may have another monster hit on his hands.
