MUMBAI: Portrayal of demanding characters like Alauddin Khilji and Rani Padmavati needs extreme concentration.
In order to do justice, artists are required to profoundly delve in to the roles. But extreme involvement often makes the artists mentally sick.
In this connection, sources privy to Newspakistan.tv have been informed that Padmavati took toll on Ranveer and Deepika Padukone. As a result both are receiving psychiatric treatment as to prevail over the gloomy mindset.
Singh purportedly had confined himself to his apartment for days to get the hang of character.
In this context, a statement reads: “Getting out of this dark, intimidating mindset wasn’t easy for him. The film has also been shot for almost a year now, so sustaining the Khilji persona was very challenging. It affected his reactions and behavior towards people, which is why his friends advised him to get help”.
Deepika (Padmini) along with all the women of her fort, while shooting the climax of the movie, had to perform mass suicide known as jauhar, over the defeat of her husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh (played by Shahid Kapoor).
Deepika has already spoken about clinical depression earlier in her career. In this movie preparing for jauhar led her back to the time when she was herself suffering from severe depression.
Meanwhile, pundits at the helm of affairs are of the view that the said flick, which is scheduled to release on 1 December, 2018, is going to be the biggest hit at the box office.
