Actor Raza Murad leaks his Jalaluddin Khilji avatar

4th October 2017

The actor with the most intense voice Raza Murad is reported to play a well-known historical character in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film, 'Padmavati'. The 66-year-old actor just like his co-stars and fans got excited and enthusiastic about his role as Sultan Jalaluddin Khilji in this upcoming period-drama film and shared his new look of a Mughal ruler across social media.

However, later on, he deleted the picture a few moments later after uploading it, by this weird incident we can assume that he wasn't really supposed to share the spoilers. However, in this social media savvy world nothing can be dumped as the screenshots of the post were taken.

In the picture, he is seen sporting a dual-shaded beard, a massive stone on his turban and a necklace to go with his look. He also holds a thick Muslim look alike beard, that is made red copper like colour to give the vintage Nawaabi look.

Sharing the pic through his post that captions, "This is my look in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati. I am playing Jalaluddin Khilji who was the first ruler of Khilji dynasty in India. He ruled India (1290-1296) for six years and was killed by his paternal nephew and son in law, Alauddin Khilji, who took over the throne after killing his uncle and father in law- Ranveer Singh has played Allaudin Khilji. Deepika Padukone plays the titular role of Padmavati and Shahid Kapoor plays Rawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of Chittor, Deepika’s husband. The film would be released on 1st December, all over the world." 

Raza Murad previously worked with Bhansali in Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela as well as Bajirao Mastani. The film also features Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Aditi Rao Hydari.
