Ranveer Singh regrets saying he could have done ’Kaminey’ better than Shahid Kapoor

Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor recently appeared in a movie 'Padmaavta' and garnered immense accolades for their respective performances. However, fans were comparing their roles and chose Ranveer's intense character portrayal as Alauddin Khilji over Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh.

Since both their roles had crucial parts in the film, Shahid did not pay much heed to these comparisons and stuck to his belief in his performance in 'Padmaavat'. There were reportedly cold vibes between the actors on and off screen. Recently there were also reports of them refusing to be a part of the success bash for 'Padmaavat' that was being hosted by the team of the movie.

In an earlier interview, Shahid Kapoor had said that he would've played the role of Alauddin Khilji differently, "Of course. Which actor would not wish to play a character like Khilji in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film? You know, once on 'Koffee with Karan', Ranveer said he would have done my role in 'Kaminey' better than me... I would have done Khilji differently."
 

Ranveer had a few years back revealed on 'Koffee with Karan' that he would've done Shahid's role in 'Kaminey' better than him which started resurfacing again amidst the cold vibes between them.

Ranveer was asked about this in an interview with a leading news channel. When probed about the cold vibes between them and his statement on 'Kaminey', Ranveer said, "I think in my first year I was very arrogant. In retrospect, that is not something I should have said. I regret saying that (I could have done Kaminey better than Shahid Kapoor)

He also said that Shahid saying that he would have played Khilji differently was him stating the obvious. He said, "What's wrong in saying that, it's stating the obvious. Every actor brings something unique to the table, so every actor will approach a part in his or her own way."
