Deepika Padukone will be prepping up for her role in ‘Padmavati’ in this manner

Actress Deepika Padukone who will be playing the titular of Rani Padmavati in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Padmavati’ has already begun preparations for the movie.

According to a source close to an entertainment web portal, “Deepika loves reading biographies. She initially started reading novels pertaining to the Rajputana era because of her role as Queen Padmavati in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film and now has got hooked to it. She loves that era with its tales of bravery, love and passion, how the Rajputs lived, what they ate, their social life, etc. The books were not recommended to her by the filmmaker, but just something she picked up as she was prepping for her role. So, now, in her spare time she reads books around that era and if you drop in to meet her you will find the actress with her nose buried deep in the thick tomes of history. This interest has got nothing to do with ‘Padmavati’ as much as it is to read up on the subject.”

The movie also stars Ranveer Singh in the role of Allaudin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Padmavati’s husband, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh. Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the movie will hit the big screens on November 17, 2017.
