"Padmaavat is a historic film for our country. I'm overwhelmed and extremely happy that the film has received this much love from audiences not just in India, but also the world over. Padmaavat is a film that is and will always be extremely close to my heart and with it becoming my first ever 300 crore film, the memory of Padmaavat will be that much more special. I would like to thank Sanjay Sir for his vision for the film and Khilji - a character that will forever glow in my body of work. I congratulate the entire cast and crew for having poured their souls into making this film. This success is for all of us to cherish and remember that as artists, we need to stand by our vision, our craft," says Ranveer.
Ranveer's acting has been celebrated by audiences across age groups and critics have hailed his performance as 'outstanding' and 'path-breaking'. For a mainstream superstar to take the bold decision of playing the villain is unheard of. Ranveer did the unthinkable and now has been unanimously credited for becoming one of Bollywood's most iconic villains who will be remembered in Indian cinema forever.
