Scoop: Shahid Kapoor REVEALS major DETAILS about his role in 'Padmavati'

In a recent interview, Shahid Kapoor spilled the beans about Padmavati. He revealed unknown facts about his next film with Deepika Padukone in the title role. While Ranveer Singh, DP, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have remained mum on the subject, Shahid is the only one who has given his fans a sneak peek into his next. 

Shahid reveals that though Deepika is in title role but Padmavati is not female centric. “Personally, I don’t think it’s a female-oriented film. The female part is extremely strong, just like in Rangoon, so are the male characters," he informed.

Shahid further divulges that he will be seen taking his shirt off in Padmavati. "I have no-food days now because I need to be in a certain shape for Padmavati. My character has a lot of close ups, body shots," he says.

Furthermore, his role is apparently great in the film. "I have a great part in Padmavati. I'm never insecure, I'm self-assured. It's great to work with talented people and my co-stars are actors who're great at balancing their work

When asked what would he like to say about his director, Shahid says, "Bhansali sir is the best filmmaker in the industry and it's a great slate for me in 2017."
