Ranveer Singh wonders if the audience will hate him after ‘Padmavati’
Ranveer Singh will soon be seen playing his first role as an antagonist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’. Him playing the character of Sultan Alauddin Khilji in the historical drama had stirred up numerous rumours that lead to fringe groups going up in arms against the film and its director. While tension surrounding the film reached new heights, it was only recently that the actor came out in support of his director and requested the audience to "trust his vision". Now, in an interview with Grazia magazine, Ranveer spoke candidly about taking on this negative role in the film. Admitting that he often wonders how the audience will perceive him after seeing him as the Sultan, he said, “I did think about how the audience will perceive me. The Indian audience in all their generosity, when they love a character, the love gets transferred onto the actor that plays the part. So, my thought was - will the reverse happen here? Where, if they hate my character - which is what we are trying to achieve - are they going to transfer the hate onto me? But I wanted to play antagonist once in my career - why not do it with Mr Bhansali?”
