Shahid Kapoor’s first look from Padmavati is out and he plays a bloodied but unbent king. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film also stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
The actor flaunts a heavily bearded look in the poster with jewellery adding to his royal and intense look. What one can’t miss is the prominent battle scar and the look which says this king is in the midst of a battle. He may look bloodied but he is definitely unbowed. Sharing the posters, Deepika, Ranveer and Shahid wrote, “saahas, samarthya aur samman ka pratrek”.

Talking about his look in ‘Padmavati’, Shahid Kapoor had said, “When you are playing a King, you need to have a certain personality. At that time, the people used to not be very skinny and lean, so you need to have a manly personality.
Basically for that, and to carry those outfits also, Sanjay sir wants me to be a little muscular and a little full. But I will be gaining weight in terms of muscle and not in terms of fat. This is because I am playing the character of a warrior. The Rajput kings had very strong personalities.”
Last Monday, Deepika’s posters of Padmavati were released. She wore a red royal dress and heavy Rajasthani jewellery. It is hard to miss Deepika’s unibrow, something that soon led to much Twitter discussion.
