Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor believes playing Maha
Rawal Ratan Singh was the biggest risk of his career as people
did not know much about the character's journey but he is glad
that "the hero" of "Padmaavat" is rightfully getting his due.
The 36-year-old actor said there were many people who
questioned him for taking up the role, as Padmavati (Deepika
Padukone) and Sultan Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh) were
already popular.
The film was stuck with the censor board for a while and
had to miss its December 1 release last year.
It arrived in the theatres on January 25, minus the 'i'
in the title, and several disclaimers and modifications.
