It is known to one and all that Deepika Padukone is the final choice of Sanjay Leela Bhansali to portray Leela in his next Ram Leela, which is said to be the adaptation of Romeo Juliet. After talks with Kareena Kapoor didn’t materialize, Deepika was chosen in the role.
And though Kareena’s backing out from the film, has disappointed Ranveer Singh, who plays male lead in the film, he is still happy with Deepika being in the film and says she is “the closest” the makers have got to finding the perfect Leela.
“She definitely looks the part better than anyone else. When Bhansali sir and I started working on the film a few months ago, we browsed through lots of books on rural Gujarat. He would often point to pictures of traditional Gujarati girls and say, ‘This is what Leela looks like’. They are slender, dusky and have sharp features,” says Ranveer.
At the same time, Ranveer is also looking forward to working with Bebo soon. “I found out that she wasn’t doing the film right after my birthday, and it was a big bummer. I hope I get an opportunity to work with her in the future,” says the actor.
