According to a source, Bhansali wants 200 days from all his lead actors, including Ranveer Singh (who plays Ala-ud-din Khilji) and Deepika. Fawad has those days to spare. In between, he has also a Karan Johar film.
There have been reports that Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor and Ali Zafar were approached to portray Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, but none agreed to be the second lead to Ranveer Singh.
The movie will focus on Ala-ud-din’s obsession with Rani Padmavati.
