On the professional front, Ranveer is currently wrapping up the final leg of Padmavati, which also stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a perfectionist and we had recently told you that the star was slapped 24 times for a scene. It so happened that Bhansali was not happy with the first take and Raza Murad slapped Ranveer 24 times to get it right.

The film will hit theatres on November 17.
