terrific performance as Alauddin Khilji in
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat. The film
also stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid
Kapoor in lead roles.
For playing Alauddin Khilji, Ranveer has gone
through a lot and was mentally affected
because of the darkness and negativity of
Khilji.
When a leading portal asked him if he will
again play a historical or dark character in
future, the actor said, "Historical? Yes! Dark?
I am not sure. Only because, it was really
hard, man. I don't think it is healthy to play
that part anymore."
Ranveer also revealed how for a moment
this dark character took over the actual him.
He narrated an incident from the sets. "I
really thought I was going crazy. I felt like I
was losing my marbles. A really strange
incident happened off camera, on the set.
Somebody made a mistake and I turned
towards that person and I was gonna
attack, physically assault that person as
Alauddin Khilji. I was like, Wait, wait, wait, a
second. This is not f***ing real. This sh** is
going deep down.' Because suddenly my
instinctive reaction was that of the
character's and not mine."
Singh further added, "The thing was I had
isolated myself during the shooting process
as well. I was going to the set in the
morning, playing Alauddin all day and then
sleeping whenever I slept. And going and
being Alauddin again. Doing that for enough
days on end, too much of it for too long, I
was suddenly generating ill-feelings,
harbouring negative and evil thoughts."
