Is Ranveer Singh Seeing A Psychiatrist To UNBECOME Alauddin Khilji?
A big move by Ranveer Singh but that’s what an actor of his calibre does to excel. The Padmavati actor has got himself so involved in his character, Alauddin Khilji, that he is seeking help to come out of it...
Trust Ranveer
Singh to always do things hatke!
Not just his
characters, but even his ways of dealing with them is ‘not so regular’.
It’s a known fact
by now that whenever Ranveer takes up a role, he puts himself through pain and
difficulties to experience emotions that a character undergoes, often letting
all of it take a toll on him.

The latest on
Padmavati is that to play Alauddin Khilji, a menacing, cruel anti-hero in
Sanjay Bhansali’s’ Padmavati, Ranveer explored such hidden depths of negativity
that he is actually seeing a shrink to get back to ‘normal’.
Our source says,
“Ranveer actually has his friends worried. To play Alauddin Khilji, he has been
researching and exploring extreme negativity. He is a friendly, warm young man,
like all of us. To become Khilji, he took the same route as he did to play
Peshwa Bajirao. He locked himself up in his apartment, prepped and stayed in
the headspace for weeks.

Getting out of
this dark, intimidating mindset wasn’t easy for him. The film has also been
shot for almost a year now, so sustaining the Khilji persona was very
challenging. It affected his reactions and behaviour towards people. Which is
why, his friends advised him to get help in emerging beyond Khilji. He is going
to a psychiatrist to get rid of the Khilji influences.”
Ranveer’s demeanor on
the sets of Padmavati has already been spoken about. He would walk in his
costume and overcome by a dark mood, ensuring that no one comes close to him or
makes conversation.

The decision to
visit a psychiatrist seems to be a final recourse. He has been taking holidays
after each schedule of this magnum opus.
Reportedly, in
preparation for the Bajirao Mastani third act, Ranveer had made himself ill to
feel the character’s trauma, triggering convulsions. Ranveer had actually
blacked out on the film’ sets during the third act (where Bajirao experiences a
fatal illness).
Now to play
Alauddin Khilji, he has taken his preparation to a scary new level altogether.
It’s commendable that Ranveer doesn’t hesitate in pushing the envelope.
