Ranveer Singh trolled by Heath Ledger fans!

Though Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmavati is embroiled in controversy, the lead actors are leaving no stone unturned in promoting the film.

Actor Ranveer Singh, who is playing Alauddin Khilji, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a photo, where his character is photoshopped along with Heath Ledger’s Joker from The Dark Knight and Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange.

However, this comparison did not go down well with Heath Ledger fans. Several of them bashed Ranveer for comparing himself with two of the most iconic villains in Hollywood.

One fan wrote, “On what basis are you comparing yourself with a legend! Have you gone nuts? You have won yourself a huge crowd of haters (sic).” Another fan added, “Oh he’s a great actor, no doubt about that, but Heath is a legend. Long way to go! (sic)”
