Both Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani had huge sets erected at Filmcity in suburban Goregaon.

Known for portraying tragic love stories on celluloid Bhansali this time has tried his hands on an anti-hero project as it is based on ruthless ruler Alauddin Khilji’s obsession for Mewar queen Padmavati.

Ranveer Singh is rumoured to be doing the film but the Bajirao Mastani actor is yet to confirm the same.

Reportedly Padmavati will bring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer together again for the third time with Shahid Kapoor also playing a prominent role in the film.
