Shahid Kapoor’s entry into Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Padmavati' has reportedly got Ranveer Singh worried. Ranveer and Deepika had already been finalised for the film. Shahid Kapoor is likely to play the role of Padukone's husband Rana of Mewar, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh.
Two hero projects are usually dicey with one of the main actors getting the short shift. This has apparently led for Shahid asking for his role to be revised and made in par with Ranveer. Ranveer too , after hearing this has asked for a second look into his own role. A leading daily reports a source as saying, "Ranveer’s role in the film is a negative, but a powerful one. SLB has given him some superb dialogues and scenes. But the comfort level between the actor and director changed when Shahid Kapoor came on board as the Rana of Mewar, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, who is also Padmavati’s (Deepika Padukone) husband in the film. Shahid agreed once his role became well-defined and he and Ranveer were on an equal footing. To be fair, Ranveer has every right to ask to see the script when there is another hero in the film. Especially because this is the first time he plays a negative character, which goes against his good boy image, while Shahid plays a dashing Indian Raja. Ranveer’s insecurity stemmed from there, and he asked for a narration before he started shooting for the film.”
The report also says , “SLB will give him his joint narration with Shahid, if Ranveer so desires, just like he got one for Gunday with Arjun Kapoor. Some of Ranveer’s contemporaries have had bad experiences in two-hero projects, so he is being extra careful. It is better to be safe than sorry.”
