Ranveer Singh said he was enjoying his happy life and marriage and he wouldn’t take another dark role like Alauddin Khilji again.

Padmaavat has been released for more than a year, but the outstanding acting of Ranveer Singh as the scary Alauddin Khilji still leaves a strong impression on the audience. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali managed to capture the charisma of Ranveer who contributed to the film's enormous success although he played a despicable role.

Before Padmaavat was released, Ranveer shared with the public how he was trying to bury himself in the character of Khilji. The actor locked himself in Goregaon house for 3 weeks to be isolated as if he were going into a dark place.

During an interview for the upcoming film Gully Boy, Ranveer was asked whether he is willing to play a similar role as Khilji one more time, to which the actor replied,

He also shared that he was having a good time and was very happy with his marriage at the moment. The actor said he was showered with the love of his wife and he’s blessed that he was in a cosy and happy place in life.

Ranveer said he wouldn’t accept another role like Khilji for the time being, or maybe forever. The actor was pleased when being offered the role of Khilji because, at that time, he was well prepared for the dark role. However, now that he knew how dark the character was, he isn’t willing to do that one more time.

Starring Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, Padmaavat was met with controversies from the critics but received positive reactions after the release. After this film, Ranveer also gained great success with the blockbuster Simmba, a movie filled with masala entertainers.

The next film of Ranveer will be Gully Boy by Zoya Akhtar, in which he will play opposite Alia Bhatt. He is also discussing a role in 83 by Kabir Khan, a film about the victory of the Indian team in the Cricket World Cup 1983.
