Led by Bollywood’s real-life couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Padmaavat was one of the highest-grossing films of 2018. The film had reportedly crossed the 500 crore mark and made a collection of Rs 585 crore at the Indian box-office. In the film, Deepika Padukone portrayed the role of Rani Padmavati, while Shahid Kapoor played the role of Rani’s husband Maharaja Ratan Rawal Singh and Ranveer Singh portrayed Alludin Khilji’s character, which was lauded by one and all.
