Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor will be seen in the role of a wife-husband in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama Padmavati. While DP will be seen in the titular role of Rajput queen, Rani Padmini; Shahid will be seen as Maharana of Mewar - Ratan Singh.
Recently, the two completed the look test for the film. But as a popular daily, a major problem has cropped up! A source said, "Shahid, who joins Padmavati crew, is shorter than Deepika so the look tests between them are not working. Because they are playing king and queen, Bhansali needs to figure out a way to make them appear equal. At that time, kings were not shorter than their queens, and Rajput tradition is conservative, so there is no way that the director can work his way around the history."
The source further added, "Delhi-based designers Rimple and Harpreet Narula, who are working with SLB for the first time and designing for the looks of Ranveer Singh, DP, Shahid, have been told to find a way to make Shahid look equal to Deepika in height, maybe give him heels etc!"
The tall and short of it...
