Mumbai: Padmavaat, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, was one of the most successful films of the year 2018. The historical drama based on the life of Padmavati impressed critics and fans.
However, reports were that Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh were involved in a cold war on sets and did not bond well together.
After the release, Shahid even re-tweeted a fan's tweet in which the latter has praised Shahid's acting and criticized Ranveer's in the film.
This further invited speculations around the sets of the magnum opus. Even in an episode on Koffee With Karam, when Karan asked Shahid about not bonding with Deepika and Ranveer during the shoot, he said, "It's a huge film, and the stakes were very high for everybody. So everybody wanted to have their A-game on."
He further added, "I am sure everybody felt a bit threatened by each other at some level. It's natural."
He even went on to say that although he had a great time on the sets, many small things happened since it was a multi-starrer film.
"I won't say it was a smooth ride, and we were all throwing love at each other. But looking back, I feel it's an amazing film in my filmography, and I feel like it's great that I did it. It's all good."
Talking about his equation with Deepika and Ranveer, he said, "My relationship status with most people in the industry is zilch. Deepika, Ranveer and Sanjay Sir never became a part of my friend circle as such."
