Speaking with Indian Express, Ranveer said that he is pleased with the positive reaction his performance has got and said he went to ‘a dark place’ emotionally to play the character. “I kind of isolated myself, marinated into the character because I can’t relate to Alaudin Khilji, I can’t relate to that level of manipulativeness, greed and ambition. I had to tap into dark experiences but his world view is not something I can relate to also,” he continued. He just knew what he wanted to do with Alaudin Khilji and was having so much fun doing it,” Ranveer said. Stuff that I have buried in my conscience, that I had to dig out in order to play this character.
