In the period-drama, actor Shahid Kapoor plays Raja Ratan Singh, Rajput ruler and husband of queen Padmavati (Deepika), while Ranveer will be seen as Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi sultan, who falls in love with Padmavati.
There were reports that the "Bajirao Mastani" co-stars will be seen romancing each other in a dream sequence.
According to sources, since the "Befikre" actor and Deepika are not romantically paired opposite each other in the film, so there is no question of a romantic sequence.
"In fact, there is no interaction between Alauddin Khilji and Padmavati. This is written history and history cannot be tampered with," sources said.
"...Sanjay Leela Bhansali, as a filmmaker, has always been sensitive towards people's sentiments and has treated the subject with utmost respect," they added.
The film will soon go on floors and is set for a 2017 release. "Padmavati" is Viacom18 Motion Pictures' third collaboration with Bhansali Productions after the back to back success of "Mary Kom" and "Gabbar is Back".
