Padmavati is not a female-oriented film: Shahid Kapoor

The buzz about who has stronger role in Padmavati has never died down. The movie has 3 mega stars, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. Now Shahid has finally gone on record to say that Padmavati is not a female oriented film. It does have a strong female character, but the male parts are equally strong.

In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, Shahid vehemently denied the fact. “Personally, I don’t think it’s a female-oriented film. The female part is extremely strong, just like in Rangoon, so are the male characters. The idea is to participate in great content. It should never be about male or female-driven roles,” he said. On being asked about his co-stars and whether he has any insecurity, he said, “I have a great part in ‘Padmavati’. I’m never insecure, I’m self-assured. It’s great to work with talented people and my co-stars are actors who’re great at balancing their work.” Shahid was also recently seen in Karan Johar’s television show ‘Koffee with Karan’ with his wife.
