After a lot of protests and controversies, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmaavat starring Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone finally hit the screens on 25th January, 2018. It all started when the members of Karni Sena had an issue with a rumored dream sequence between Alauddin Khilji aka Ranveer and Rani Padmavati aka Deepika.
The film is currently basking in praise and has already crossed Rs 100 crore mark in just 4 days. Apart from it being a commercial success, the movie has been lauded for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s grand vision, hard-hitting story, and detailed characters.
Moreover, we can’t ignore the fact that it took a lot of pain and effort to create the look for the characters. Today, we got our hands on a few pictures that reflect the arduous yet incredible transformation of Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor into epic characters – Alauddin Khilji and Maharawal Ratan Singh respectively.
Ranveer Singh essays the role of Sultan Alauddin Khilji, who is fierce and eccentric. The kohl-lined eyes created the right drama and showed us the malevolent side of the actor. Talking about Shahid Kapoor, this was the first time he was playing a royal character. His makeover was drastic, the bloodstained face was a look created for the dungeon sequence scene when the king was kept captive.

Meanwhile, Ranveer had earlier confessed that it was difficult for him to say yes to the part as he would have to get in touch with dark sides inside him. In an interview to a leading daily, Ranveer had said, “I discovered that the trouble was that I was only doing this. So, I am was shooting the film and going back to my den while being Khilji all day. Not neutralizing it was taking a toll on me. Sometimes, off camera, I’d have evil thoughts and negative feelings towards people, and I had to stop and protect myself by neutralizing.”
Ranveer also said that he has come out of Khilji as a better human being. “You know, as much as it affected me emotionally and mentally, I have also come out feeling lighter. It is rare and overwhelming to see such great response to performances and the film. I am filled with gratitude, which leads to a desire to express and spread more affection and love. Whenever I get something from God, I feel like giving back,” he had said.
On the other hand, Shahid had said, ‘’There is a lot of drama between all the three characters. There is drama between Khilji and Ratan Singh and between him and Padmavati. That needed to work. Sanjay sir has offered me a good part. And those who have seen the film have understood why I did this role."
