Ranveer Singh, who is being widely praised for his portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat', feels delighted after receiving a letter of appreciation from megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Calling the letter his "award", an overwhelmed Ranveer took to Twitter to share the picture of the note and a bouquet Bachchan sent him after watching Bhansali's magnum opus.

He captioned the photo, "I have got my award @SrBachchan."

Mujhe mera award mil gaya...😇🙏🏽 @amitabhbachchan

Ranveer also received a handwritten note in 2015, after Bachchan had watched 'Bajirao Mastani'.

Featuring Deepika Padukone in the lead, 'Padmaavat' also stars Shahid Kapoor, Jim Sarbh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Raza Murad.

The film is going strong at the box office. Till now, the movie has officially crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark at the box-office in four days, despite not releasing in some states and acts of vandalism across the country.
