Is Ranveer Singh getting scared of Shahid Kapoor’s entry in ‘Padmavati?’

News has it that Shahid Kapoor has been roped in to play Deepika Padukone’s husband’s role in ‘Padmavati’. And the actor has also told director Sanjay Leela Bansali to revise his role and make it at par with that of Ranveer Singh.

This has now scared Ranveer, who has apparently asked for a second look at his character. A leading daily reports a source saying, “Ranveer’s role in the film is a negative, but powerful one. SLB has given him some superb dialogues and scenes. But the comfort level between the actor and director changed when Shahid Kapoor came on board as the Rana of Mewar, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, who is also Padmavati’s (Deepika Padukone) husband in the film. Shahid agreed once his role became well-defined and he and Ranveer were on an equal footing. To be fair, Ranveer has every right to ask to see the script when there is another hero in the film. Especially because this is the first time he plays a negative character, which goes against his good boy image, while Shahid plays a dashing Indian Raja. Ranveer’s insecurity stemmed from there, and he asked for a narration before he started shooting for the film.”

The source further adds, “SLB will give him his joint narration with Shahid, if Ranveer so desires, just like he got one for Gunday with Arjun Kapoor. Some of Ranveer’s contemporaries have had bad experiences in two-hero projects, so he is being extra careful. It is better to be safe than sorry.”
