Is Ranveer Singh seeing a shrink to unbecome Khilji?

Ranveer Singh is known to take on a role and delve into it with complete commitment. Ranveer is apparently a metod actor, who puts himself through pain to experience emotions that a character undergoes. Turns out, to play Alauddin Khilji, a menacing, cruel anti-hero in Sanjay Bhansali's' Padmavati, Ranveer explored such hidden depths of negativity that he actually had to see a shrink to get back to normal'.

As per a source, "Ranveer has his friends and family worried. To play Alauddin Khilji, he has been researching and exploring extreme negativity. To become Khilji, he took the same route as he did to play Peshwa Bajirao. He locked himself up in his apartment, prepped and stayed in the headspace for weeks. Getting out of this dark, intimidating mindset wasn't easy for him. The film has also been shot for almost a year now, so sustaining the Khilji persona was very challenging. It affected his reactions and behavior towards people. Which is why, his friends advised him to get help in emerging beyond Khilji. He is going to a psychiatrist to get rid of the Khilji influences.

Ranveer's demeanour on the sets of Padmavati has already been spoken about. He would walk in his costume and overcome by a dark mood, ensuring that no one comes close to him or makes conversation. The decision to visit a psychiatrist seems to be a final recourse. He has been taking holidays after each schedule and has reportedly bought a luxury car to cheer himself up.

The movie features Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati and Shahid Kapoor as her husband, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh. It is all set to release on December 1.

After reading this article... he better be more menacing than Ashutosh Rana in Dushman or Amrish Puri. 😉 Have no clue if they ever had to go see a shrink.

@Bold- Stuff nightmares are made of. Can't remember being scarred by a negative character so much.

He essayed the role brilliantly.

Edit- Just realised you wrote Dushman, I meant Sangarsh. Dushman was scary too.

But it happens...Heath Ledger who played the Joker literally became consumed by his character and apparently had a really hard time getting out of it...It happens when they play such intensely bad and evil characters...

Ashutosh in Dushman was lethal but nothing that Amrish Puri did was anything more than a caricature, which has the potential of being bothersome to ones conscience, no?

Ashutosh Rana in Sangharsh was damn scary too...

Team India 83 is very classy. RS had to match up to the level of so many Legends in one room.

Was Gavaskar part of this event? I missed a lot of news.

Please don't even try to remind me of Ashutosh in Dushman ( or Sangharsh ).

Without makeup, Ashutosh was able to scare the hell out of so many people. I was suspicious of all postmen after Dushman .

So this article is trying to propagate that RS has gone in some dark space and needs a shrink?

He could have asked Shahid coz Shahid has played dark characters in Haider and UP !!

These actors are delicate darlings now a days
