After the success of ‘Ram-Leela’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani, the upcoming project, which is supposedly based on tyrant emperor Alauddin Khilji's obsession for Padmavati, the queen of Chittor, will mark the third collaboration of Sanjay-Deepika and Ranveer. If reports are to believed, Prakash Kapadia, who earlier scripted ‘Bajirao Mastani’, has reportedly been roped in to write 'Padmavati.’ The shooting of the movie will go on floors in September.

If the reports turn out to be true, it is expected to be another stunning movie of the trio. Deepika is currently gearing up for the release of her first Hollywood film XXX.  In it, she will be seen opposite Vin Diesel.
