The 2018 film, Padmaavat, helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, made headlines for multiple reasons. The period film starred Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh as the three main leads. Although, Deepika and Ranveer's characters, that of queen Padmaavati and the tyrant Alauddin Khilji, respectively, seemed to hog the limelight pre and post release. 

Shahid Kapoor, who played the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh, Deepika's husband in the film, at several points has expressed his displeasure with his role. During the latest episode of our print and podcast series Sit With Hitlist, he was asked if he felt short-changed in the Bhansali film.
