I really hope the character of Padmavati is well-written and something different. How will SLB present Deepika differently? That's what I'm scared of, SLB films take so much time and energy and what if at the end we get another half-baked character like Mastani.This will be Deepika's first Hindi release in 2 years.

On a more positive note, Shreya Goshal seems really excited about the music and the song she recently recorded. I loved both RL and BM albums so I hope this one is equally good.

This is just Bajirao Mastani 2. In series 1 Mastani fell in love with already married Bajirao and wants him at any cost. In series 2 Khilji falls in love with already married Padmini and wants her at any cost.

He might show Khilji - Ratan Singh fight sequence as a dance number like that of Malhari.
