Why Ranveer Singh was slapped 24 times on the sets of Padmavati?

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati has been in news ever since it has been announced. The film boasts of an ensemble cast - Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. Ranveer has stepped into the shoes of Alauddin Khilji and if there's anything that he is deeply passionate about then it is the way he portrays his historical characters onscreen. He goes an extra mile to get into the skin of his characters.

This time is no different. What had happened is that Ranveer and Raza Murad were shooting for a sequence for the film wherein the latter had to slap the former. Just to get the perfect shot, Sanjay Leela Bhansali took retakes and for that Raza Murad had to slap Ranveer 24 times. And then SLB got his perfect take.

Ranveer took to Instagram and shared this news snippet and wrote, "True story!" Talking about his role in the film, he had earlier said, "What a guy! Can’t believe he does the things he does, he is an appalling human being. You can’t even call him a human being, call him a ‘haivaan’. You would love to hate him. You will be like, ‘I hate this person how can he be this way, how can anybody be this way, is there no compassion.’ He’s a hard guy.”


Deepika Padukone will be seen playing the titular character with Shahid Kapoor playing her husband Raja Rawal Singh.
