Shahid Kapoor: "Padmavati is a three-actor film!"

During his recent appearance at Mumbai Film Festival, Shahid Kapoor slammed the rumours of cold vibes between him and Ranveer. the actor said that it would b frivolous to call 'Padmavati' a two-hero film, and is a great opportunity for all the three actors. He said, "This is the stuff I've been reading in papers and I find it absurd when they say it is 'two hero' film. The film has three principle characters. These are just ways of creating some kind of material which is exciting at some frivolous level."

He further added, "It's a great opportunity for all three of us. It's a great role for Deepika, a fantastic role for Ranveer and a great one for me. I am happy that the film has been cast the way it has and it is getting made.I hope we come out with a great cinematic experience for the audience."
Lamenting the fact that he was offered the film now, Shahid said, "I wish 'Padmavati' came to me five-six years ago, I would have done it. I am happy it is coming to me today, I am happy that I am working with a filmmaker like Sanjay Leela Bhansali. When I saw 'Bajirao Mastani', I went berserk because I absolutely loved it."

He concluded saying, "I am grateful for the opportunity. If five years ago I would've said no to it, someone would've whacked me and said that's the stupidest mistake of my life."
