Actor Ranveer Singh, who essays the role of Alauddin Khilji in 'Padmavati', has finally broken silence over the controversy surrounding the film.

The actor has come out in support of the movie and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

At an event when Ranveer was asked about the controversy he said, "I am 200 percent with the film and I stand by it as well as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Given that it is very sensitive time right now, I have been specifically asked not to say anything. Whatever official communication with regards to the film needs to be made, you will receive it from the producers."

Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Shahid Kapoor-starrer film has been mired in a slew of controversies for allegedly tampering with historical facts.


Earlier Shahid Kapoor who is playing Maharaja Rawal Ratan Singh, also expressed his views and confidence that Bhansali's magnum-opus 'will come out and that too in full force'.

Talking about the controversy, Shahid said, "This is not the time to be angry; this is not the time to lose your cool because there are enough people doing that right now. So I would choose to say that I believe in the process and I am very optimistic. I am sure 'Padmavati' will come out. Once people see the film, they will be proud of it like we are. All of this will be forgotten then."
