Deepika Padukone, who plays the role of Padmavati in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film “Padmavati” was seen shooting for a folk song for the movie. An extravagant set has been put up at Mehboob studio in Mumbai in the suburbs of Bandra and has been roped off for the soot of the song.
“We have started shooting for a song…It’s a folk song…A Rajasthani song. The set is huge and it’s grandeur. The song features only Deepika Padukone,” a source said. When asked about the lyrics of the song, sources only said, “It’s Ghoomar.” The background dancers were seen wearing a traditional lehenga, blouse and dupatta and decked up with heavy jewelry.
In the period drama film, Shahid Kapoor will play Raja Ratan Singh, the Rajput ruler and husband of queen Padmavati (Deepika), while Ranveer Singh will be seen as Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi sultan, who falls in love with Padmavati. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was also present at the same studio, went to meet Deepika.
