Shahid snapped at SLB's office: Is he on board with Padmavati or the deal is off?

Mumbai: After his last hit ‘Bajirao Mastani’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film based on Rani Padmavati has been in the news for its casting.

According to reports, Deepika Padukone has been finalized for the role of Rani Padmavati and Ranveer Singh is likely to play the antagonist Allaudin Khilji and Shahid will play Deepika’s husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh.

There were also reports of Ranveer feeling insecure with Shahid joining the cast, which were squashed after they were spotted bonding at a gym.

Shahid, who recently became a father, is reportedly taking a long paternity leave and might opt out of the film for the same reason. But Shahid was recently spotted visiting Bhansali's office as can be seen in these pictures.

This recent visit has set tongues wagging regarding the purpose of his visit. Was it a meeting related to the script of the film or did Shahid finally state that he was not doing the film or that he was doing it? The answers will be out soon.
