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.
