While many appreciated Ranveer Singh’s look in Padmaavat, many thought that the comparison with the legendary actors was unfair and uncalled for. One user wrote, “With all due respect, you are one of the finest actor in todays time. But….comparing your role with joker is just too much. I am not denying you may reach to that level. But it takes a lot of polishing before you get that shine like Heath Ledger,” while another user asked the star to delete the picture. Take a look at some of the reactions below:
