While rumours were rife about Ranveer Singh letting Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati pass, sources associated with the film maintain that the actor is the filmmaker's sole choice. Moreover, his chemistry with Deepika Padukone can be explored differently in their third outing together (which is reported to start next month).

Though Ranveer's visit to SLB's office on Saturday put an end to the rumours, the actor apparently finds himself divided as he is also in talks with Shimit Amin whose next is scheduled to start later this year. We hear a considerable portion of time he needs to allot to these two films overlap, as a result of which he may be forced to pick only one of them. How he manages to juggle his dates and whether he will let go of any one of the two movies, remains to be seen.
