Padmaavat actor Shahid Kapoor admits playing the subdued, composed Maharawal Ratan Singh was a gamble. Shahid admits playing the subdued, composed Rajput king Maharawal Ratan Singh was a gamble, especially because it was pitted against the aggressive, attention seeking Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh). In a conversation with indianexpress.com, Shahid Kapoor talks about the challenges of being a part of Padmaavat, the risk involved and how he would have done Khilji differently from Ranveer Singh. I am still in shock to see that the film didn’t release in those four states. And I knew it wasn’t a ‘single hero’ film but for me always, the tests have been difficult, never easy.
