Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced his film Padmavati, there has been a number of speculations regarding the same. While Deepika and Ranveer are the only ones who have been finalised till now, but who will play Deepika's husband is still a big question. Many reports claimed that Vicky Kaushal was roped in but he turned down the offer because of lesser screentime. Later, a report claimed that a TV actor was about to be onboard but Deepika bluntly said a no for it too. According to Padukone, she can't romance or do steamy scenes with someone who is not as popular as her. Ahem! Padukone and her starry tantrums.

According to a recent report in Spotboye, Shahid Kapoor has been approached to play the role of Raja Rawal Ratan Singh of Mewar. Yes, this means we will see him romancing Deepika.

Even though there has been no confirmation from Shahid's end, if this happens, we are surely going to be happy. Because who wouldn't like to see Shahid-Deepika and Ranveer on the big screen? And that too in a typical Sanjay Leela Bhansali magnum opus?
