Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s padmavati started shooting yesterday at Mumbai. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor were spotted at Mehboob Studios in Bandra. The movie faced several hiccups before the team finally commenced the shoot. 'Padmavati' will have Deepika playing the role of Queen Padmini while Shahid essays the character of her husband, Raja Rawal Ratan Singh. Ranveer plays the antagonist Alauddin Khilji, who declares war on Chittor, motivated by his desire for Padmini.
