We all know how many hurdles Sanjay Leela  Bhansali's film Padmaavat had to face before the release. Constant delays, protests, threats were pelted towards the makers including the lead cast Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Now, that the movie is getting the deserved applause by the critics as well as the masses, there is another subtle war going on, a cold war between Shahid and Ranveer. It is an open secret that Mr Singh's Alauddin Khlilji got the maximum share of appreciation and this reportedly has not gone well with Sasha. However, Ranveer in a recent interview confessed that he, in the first place, should have not said that he would do Kaminey better than Shahid did!

It all started when Shahid was asked whether he would do the role of Khilji. The Udta Punjab actor said, "Of course. Which actor would not wish to play a character like Khilji in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film? You know, once on ‘Koffee with Karan’, Ranveer said he would have done my role in ‘Kaminey’ better than me… I would have done Khilji differently."

It was crystal clear that Kapoor had not forgotten the comment by Ranveer till date and also said that he felt like an 'outsider' on the sets of Padmaavat. So, while speaking to a leading news channel, the Gully Boy actor admitted the part saying, "I think in my first year I was very arrogant. In retrospect, that is not something I should have said. I regret saying that (I could have done Kaminey better than Shahid Kapoor).”

When he was  told about Shahid's statement saying that he would have done Khilji differently, he said, "What’s wrong in saying that, it’s stating the obvious. Every actor brings something unique to the table, so every actor will approach a part in his or her own way.”  Well, we hope that the whole episode gets ceased here and the lead stars relish the success of the period drama now!
