SRK & Hrithik Roshan favourites for ‘Padmavati’?

Reports suggested that Deepika Padukone had been uncomfortable romancing Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali�۪s ��Padmavati�۪ and after Shahid Kapoor�۪s name was attached to the project a few days ago, it seems now Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are also favourites to bag the role of her husband.

Interestingly, Bhansali is now looking for an actor with stature who will play Rawal Ratan Singh. A source told TOI, ���Bhansali is looking for an established actor since it is a powerful role has to stand up to Ranveer Singh’s grey character. There has to be some chemistry between the actor and Deepika, especially for intimate scenes�۝.

The source further continued, ���Bhansali wants to explore the Hrithik-Deepika pairing at this stage since it will be a new pair. But, Shah Rukh has also shown interest in the project. Since the project is scheduled to roll in September, the director will take a decision shortly�۝.

It would definitely be interesting to see either Khan or Roshan in the film and it remains to be seen who is finalised.
