historical Padmavati, Deepika Padukone
plays Rani Padmavati, a woman adored by
her husband Maharawal Ratan Singh
( Shahid Kapoor) while Sultan Alauddin Khilji
(Ranveer Singh) gets obsessed with her
beauty. As a woman with two men fighting
over her on screen, in real life too, Deepika
Padukone is facing an opposite issue
there have been reports that her two
heroes Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh
are upset because she attended the event
alone without informing them. We tell you
what really happened.
A trade source says, "At the Padmavati 3D
trailer launch, Deepika Padukone was asked
to go by Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself as
her date was with him. She was finishing
some patchwork but he asked her to attend
the event and complete her shoot after that.
The moment she got done she left for the
Padmavati shoot. Nobody questions
Bhansali and she has worked with him in
three films and understands where he's
coming from. The filmmaker is very clear on
what he wants and there's apparently a
marketing strategy that the three of them
will be promoted at different dates. A
promotional schedule has been chalked out
and Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh's
teams have been informed who will attend
what and where; so what was the fuss
about? Shahid was not upset at all. Stars
who work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali know
that he controls the publicity and the actors
have no hand in it at all. Nor was Ranveer
Singh upset as he and Deepika Padukone
were seen flirting with each other on
Instagram just yesterday after he put up a
picture of his.
The source adds, "It is a known fact that
apart from the filmmaker himself, SLB Films
is a strong production house in the
industry and even the biggest of stars
follow what they are told to do by them.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a director that most
stars want to work with and also respect
him immensely. Bhansali decides who
attends Padmavati events. It was he who
decided that Deepika Padukone too should
attend the 3D trailer launch event on the
day she was shooting for Padmavati. The
actress merely followed what she was
asked to do by her director. All three actors
are very professional and will always obey
their director's requests whom they love
and respect.
