New Delhi: The quirky Ranveer Singh is currently working hard on maverick filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati' where he will be seen playing Alauddin Khilji on screen.

Ranveer in an e-mail interview told IANS, "When I try to describe the way he (Bhansali) is with actors, I run out of words. It's truly inexplicable the way he manages to extract great performances from his actors. It's just a gift that he has."

"I truly regard him as one of the greatest filmmakers of Hindi cinema in all time. His form and flamboyance are unique to him and there are some things that only he can do," he added.

'Padmavati' happens to be the third film of the actor-director jodi after 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela' and 'Bajirao Mastani'.

The magnum opus stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor besides Ranveer in the lead role.
