Days after Deepika Padukone’s first look in Padmavati was revealed, now Shahid Kapoor’s first look in Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been shared. Kohl-eyed, well-trimmed beard, and in a torn and bloodstained kurta, Shahid’s Maharawal Ratan Singh is found staring into space on battle ground. He also has a vermilion tilak on his forehead.

Jointly produced by Bhansali Productions and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Padmavati will also feature Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji, who is motivated to kidnap Rani Padmini. The film is based on the legendary queen from the epic ‘Padmavat’ written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE.
The film, which has had its share of trouble with protesters, is slated to release on December 1.
