The Eyes Have It: Ranveer Singh Piles On The Kohl In The First Look Of Padmavati And Hints At Its Release Date

When Ranveer Singh had announced that his character in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati is similar to the supervillain of Batman's universe, Joker, we were intrigued. Will he also sport the crazy face-paint donned by Joker?

Ranveer may not sport red lipstick and a slashed mouth in the period drama which also stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor but he surely has piled on the eyeliner.

Ranveer Singh tweeted this image to announce that the film will release on 17th November 2017.



Padmavati is the third time that real life lovers Ranveer Singh and Deepika will be cast together- the other two instances being SLB's Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani. Both films had a great great run box office.

Padmavati revolves around the beautiful namesake queen and the two men in her life, Alauddin Khilji played by Ranveer Singh and King Ratansen played by Shahid Kapoor.

Bhansali had earlier faced many hurdles to start with the film. As soon as Shahid joined the cast of the period drama, the director found himself caught in multiple ego-tussles involving his two leading men.(Shahid Threatens To Quit Padmavati, Bhansali Summons Feuding Stars To Save Film, Oct 5)

Buzz is, the trouble started when Ranveer demanded that Shahid be omitted from the inaugural posters of the film. As soon as Shahid came to know of this, he informed Bhansali that that he would rather opt out of the film.

Oops! But with this latest look of Ranveer from the film, we are all pumped up. Aren’t you?
