Making us even more curious about more details about Deepika’s character, its casting director Shruti Mahajan took to Facebook to share the actor’s royal and elegant look in the film through a sketch. It is a fan-made sketch which has gone viral.

The casting director of Padmavati shared the first look of Deepika Padukone from the film.

Bhansali is known to incorporate lavish and elaborate dances in all his film. And with larger than life sets and near-perfect detailing of the era gone by, every song becomes a mirror of history on the big screen. Deepika’s earlier numbers in Ram-Leela (Nagada Sang) and Bajirao Mastani (Deewani Mastani) are still as fresh in our minds. We do not doubt that even Padmavati will only add to this chartbuster list of songs.
