Ranveer Singh is a huge fan of the superstar and has often confessed his love and respect for Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh, on the other hand, sends across personal notes of appreciation to actors when he is impressed with their work.
Talking about his role of Khilji, Ranveer had earlier told that, “I will be honest — when I was offered Padmaavat, most people were of the opinion that a hero should not play the anti-hero.But I believed otherwise. I saw Khilji as a challenge for me, as an actor. And I wanted to take the challenge up. I went with the vision of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and my instinct of what I could achieve with Khilji.”
