Seven years ago, Indian cinema witnessed a game-changing performance from Ranveer Singh, who took on the role of Alauddin Khilji in the historical drama Padmaavat. Known for his roles in lighthearted romantic and comedic films, Ranveer stunned audiences with his intense and menacing portrayal of the dark and ruthless character.

On the seventh anniversary of this cinematic masterpiece, it’s time to celebrate Ranveer’s fearless brilliance. His performance as Khilji shattered all expectations and remains one of the most iconic roles in Indian cinema. In a role many leading actors would shy away from, Ranveer embraced the challenge, bringing power, madness, and cruelty to life in a way no one could have anticipated.

This film proved Ranveer’s remarkable versatility as an actor. Known for his vibrant personality, he completely transformed both physically and psychologically to embody the ruthless ruler. His dramatic metamorphosis into Khilji was so convincing that it made him nearly unrecognizable.

The performance marked a significant departure from the romantic and cheerful roles he was known for, highlighting his ability to break stereotypes and showcase his diverse acting range. Padmaavat remains a testament to Ranveer Singh’s ability to completely immerse himself in any role, regardless of its complexity.
