SHAHID KAPOOR SAYS HE DID NOT WANT TO RESTRICT RANVEER SINGH IN ANY WAY WHILE THE FILMIMG OF PADMAAVAT

Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh have worked together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat and are appreciated for their characters portrayals.  Shahid has been fond of Ranveer Singh since the actor bagged the trophy of the Best Debutant for Band Baaja Baarat back in 2011, when Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid were hosting the award night.

Shahid told a leading daily that he is in all praises of Ranveer's acting since Bajirao Mastani. He said; “I don’t think anyone else could have played Bajirao like he did. No one could have done it better.”

He admits that though the actors knew each other socially, this was the first time that the two were sharing screen space, and said;  “It was great working with someone who was newer than me, but who was part of the core team. Even Deepika Padukone is newer than me. I have worked for four years more than her, but I knew her from before.”

“Ranveer and I were a new team, so it took us a little time to get used to it,” he added.

Shahid also talked about his first encounter with Ranveer Singh and said; "Ranveer loves to play his boombox loudly just before the shots to charge himself. One day, I went up to him and said, ‘Please, play it a little louder.’ And he was like, ‘Really?’ and I said, ‘Ya’ and that’s how our equation moved forward. I love music and I didn’t want him to feel as if he was being restricted in any way. So, I decided to participate. I know some people find it distracting, but I’ve enough experience to work around such things.”

Hope we get to see Ranveer and Shahid together in one more movie.
