off with his upcoming character Alauddin
Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati.
The movie has been in trouble waters ever
since it was announced with two vandalism
incidences already reported. Not just
monetarily loss but such incidences also
highlighted the low resistance level a certain
group has.
When Ranveer was asked on the same, he
told a popular magazine, "I do have strong
opinions on this subject, which I wish to
express. But I've been requested by the
team to not voice it to avoid further hurdles.
I channelled the angst into my performance.
These are issues none of us anticipated. It's
unfortunate."
He further added, "Apart from all these
external issues, I knew this whole process
would be ball-busting. I was ready for the
testing times. Sometimes, it's difficult to pick
yourself up and go back to work next
morning because it's so draining. It takes a
toll on your physical and mental health. But
it's all for a greater purpose. These films are
for posterity."
This is also Ranveer's third movie with
Bhansali after Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani.
When asked about this, the talented actor
added, "I'm thankful to Mr Bhansali for that.
Aditya Chopra once told me that you should
give your director so much that they can't
look beyond you. You must leave no stone
unturned in adding value to their vision. I'm
happy that this is the case with him. Sanjay
Leela Bhanslali is truly an enigma. He's a
special man. He's blessed with these unreal
talents. He's hypersensitive and intelligent.
He cannot digest mediocrity. The defining
phrase for Mr Bhansali would be the
relentless pursuit of excellence'."
