Ranveer Singh is the ultimate risk taker in the industry and no one can contest this. Right from his wacky choice of clothes to playing an out-and-out villainous character in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s love of labour Padmaavat, he has made sure that he carves his niche in the B-town. His portrayal of Allauddin Khilji in the flick has left us intrigued, impressed and asking for more. Method actor that he is, the Gully Boy star was on a self-confessed exile for the entire period the film was shot and released. Relieved at the success of the movie ridden with many controversies, the Bajirao Mastani star finally opened up about his journey behind Padmaavat.

By and large, the industry loved the flick, and showered special praises for Ranveer’s anti-hero role. Veteran star Amitabh Bachchan too was equally floored by Khilji’s antics on screen. He sent a handwritten note and flowers to Singh in his trademark style, congratulating him on the stupendous success of the film. Overwhelmed with this gesture, Ranveer took to twitter to share this. He posted, “Mujhe mera award mil gaya @SrBachchan “. Looks like he now does not care whether he bags the coveted Best Actor trophy at Bollywood award functions. The film has won both critical and audience acclaim and is running in packed houses in India and abroad. The historical drama has crossed the Rs 100 cr mark, in turn giving the biggest opening to Ranveer at the box office.

Like Ranveer, Deepika Padukone too was praised by ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor’s parents Rishi Kapoor and Nitu Singh. Speaking about the same she told a daily, “Yes, it was very sweet of them. I was touched. I’ve worked with them in Love Aaj Kal and I have fond memories."

While Ranveer will be next in Gully Boy with Alia Bhatt, Deepika is set to play a gangster in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next, Sapna Didi.
