Mumbai Mirror reports Kapoor talking to reporters and saying, “I will start shooting for ‘Padmavati’ in a couple of weeks. I haven’t started it yet, but it is an amazing honour to work with Bhansali ji. I love his films, I think he is a fantastic filmmaker. I am very excited about the role he has offered me. This is the first time that Deepika and I will be working together which is great. This is the first time me and Ranveer will be working together, which is great”.

He added, “Padmavati is a really big film. It is a challenging film to do as an actor. After working with Vishal Bhardwaj, working with Bhansali is an amazing place to be. I feel very fortunate”.
