Deepika Padukone shared the much awaited look of her upcoming movie Padmavati - in which she will be essaying the role of Rani Padmavati.

It is an intense, romantic film with good intent: Shahid Kapoor on 'Padmavati' row

Earlier, the Bajirao Mastani star took to Twitter to share the logo of the movie, with caption, "Rani Padmavati arrives tomorrow... With the sunrise," hinting that she might reveal her look from the movie. Deepika tweeted with a photograph featuring the simple logo, which features the movie's title on a plain black background.



The first look of the movie is now unveiled and Deepika looks every bit of the queen she is all set to portray.



The Cocktail star shared another look from the movie in which she has donned an extremely regal outfit and paired it with heavy jewellery.




Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali - known for his grand period dramas - Padmavati also features Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.

Padmavati tells the story of Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi ruler who fell in love with Rajput queen Padmavati.

The movie's shoot went through a lot of hurdles.

Deepika Padukone loses opportunities in Hollywood

In January, activists of outfit Shri Rajput Karni Sena had assaulted Bhansali and vandalised the movie's Jaipur set over alleged distortions in the film's script.

Later, once the filmmaker had moved the film's shoot to Maharashtra, an outdoor set of the historic period drama in Kohlapur was reduced to ashes after two dozen unidentified persons torched it in March.

The movie is all set to hit the screens on December 1 this year.
