Ranveer Singh.
Superstar Ranveer Singh recently made headlines when he was seen drenched in turmeric at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s haldi ceremony. This picture quickly went viral and fans who saw it became excited. After watching this, people remembered Ranveer Singh’s famous character Khilji in ‘Padmaavat’. In a scene shown in the film, Ranveer Singh’s character Alauddin Khilji paints his face with Holi colors in a horrifying display of his eccentricity and unpredictability. The striking similarity between the real-life moment and the famous film scene has reignited a wave of nostalgia among fans. Fans are constantly finding similarities in both the looks. However, what many may not know is that the unforgettable moment in ‘Padmaavat’ was the result of Ranveer Singh’s creative input.
Why did the Khilji scene become famous?
A source close to the project shared an interesting behind-the-scenes story, saying, ‘The team was thinking of doing something different with this scene, especially with Ranveer because Khilji is unpredictable and lonely as a character. Then Ranveer presented a very unique character in the absence of anyone to play Holi and his desire for Padmavati, in which he applies gulal on his face and maintains a sinister expression. It was an impromptu idea and Ustad Sanjay Sir liked the idea so much that he incorporated it into the film. This is how this scene was created and became an iconic scene.
