Fans and critics can't stop praising Ranveer Singh for his mind-blowing portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat. The actor underwent a complete transformation and fans went nuts looking at his evil avatar onscreen. We were also completely stumped with Ranveer's performance in the film. Despite all the controversies around the film, it managed to cross Rs. 300 crores at the box office. Ranveer totally deserves all the awards there are for Padmaavat. In fact, all three actors have delivered a brilliant performance in the movie. But Ranveer made sure that he steals all the limelight with his act. The Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award committee wrote to Ranveer saying, "We take immense pleasure to inform you that you have been finalised for The Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award 2018 for the memorable role for the Padmaavat."

Anushka Sharma will also be given a Dadasaheb Phalke Award as a Path Breaking Producer for all the three films that the actress has produced, the recent one being Pari. We are sure Ranveer is super thrilled to receive an award for Padmaavat. The actor was very emotional about the film and spent a lot of time locked up inside a room, away from everything to prepare for his role.
