Dippy as" never seen before" in 'Padmavati'

Actress Deepika Padukone who roped in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming 'Padmavati', has already done a look test for the movie. She will reportedly start shooting for the first sequence of the movie next week, sans co-actors Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.

"Deepika has already done a look test for the film and Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor will be doing the same in a couple of days, separately. Both have been growing their beards and hair to play their respective characters- Shahid as the Rajput King Rana Ratan Singh of Chittor and Ranveer as the Sultan of Delhi, Alauddin Khilji," a source said. The cameras will roll for a song shoot featuring the actress where she will perform Rajasthani folk dance 'Ghoomar'.

Set for Bhansali's ambitious project, has been constructed at Mehboob Studio, and looks similar to that of Padmavati's Water Palace in Rajasthani's Chittorgarh Fort. The story for 'Padmavati' is a dramtised tale of the capture of the Chittor Fort in Rajasthan in 1303, when the second Sultan of the Khilji dynasty lead an invasion to capture the queen- wife of Mewar's ruler.
