War of words between Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh marks the beginning of ‘Padmavati’ shoot

While it is known that Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have started shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Padmavati', the film's next schedule will have Ranveer and Shahid shoot together for a scene. This will be the first time that the two will be on the sets together.

Earlier there were reports of a cold war between the two actors, as rumours suggest that Ranveer was miffed that Shahid might steal his thunder in the film. However, the actors later shunned the reports, calling them misleading.

A source close to a leading tabloid revealed, "Sanjay sir planned the shoot in such a way that individual scenes of all actors were shot first. These will be followed by portions that see them together. Although Deepika [Padukone, co-star] who plays Rani Padmavati, and Shahid, as her husband Raja Ratan Singh, have shot together before, Ranveer has shot solo scenes until now."

The tabloid further reports that Sanjay Leela Bhansali intends to start with the war of words that takes place between Khilji and Ratan Singh as they meet for the first time. The source further adds, "There is latent animosity running through the scene. Before Ranveer injured himself while shooting last week, the scene was discussed with him."

The source further informs that Shahid and Ranveer will discuss the scene once Ranveer returns from his brief holiday in London.
