There's something special in the combination of Sanjay Sir and me

Ranveer Singh has set a benchmark for him by his act as Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat". The film also starred Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor in the lead roles. However, the trio equally won the hearts of people with their performance in the film but, Ranveer has been talked about more in the film with his negative character and the way he has shown his skills as an actor in this film.

The film is being loved so much so that, still there are few screens kept in theatres and they are also going full house that it has reached above 200 hundred crore club now.

Recently, talking with a leading daily, he also talked about his connection with the filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali that his films with him have always raised the bar of the actor in other films. "So many people across the board- audiences, the film fraternity, critics and journalists- unanimously recognize that there is something special in the combination of Sanjay Sir and I. It's not new for Deepika to see her films notch such numbers. However, I'm very happy that Sanjay Sir and I are able to notch our first 200-crore film together," said Ranveer.

He also said that he had anticipated for the film to do good business. "I was anticipating that the film will do big numbers, but I didn't anticipate how high those numbers would be and how quickly they would ride. But generally, I don't think much about numbers. The audience's reaction and their feedback are important to me. The reaction to the first trailer was something that I have never witnessed, certainly not for any of my films or for most Hindi films," he said.

The film has almost reached the business of 275 crores in India, talking about the same, he said, "Not every film achieves such numbers, so it's very rare. It feels great, especially because a film of mine has made this kind of money at this stage in my career. So, for a film to do such colossal numbers definitely means a lot to me. It shows that my dedication and commitment towards being the best possible entertainer has paid off in the form of widespread acceptance."
