In the letter, he wrote, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to each and everyone who has been so generous in effusively showering love and appreciation to our trailer. To witness the avalanche of praise across the board is unprecedented and overwhelming it's very rare... and very, very humbling."
The actor also wrote about the film's director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, calling him as "crazy genius" and "master craftsman".
"It is a result of blood, sweat and tears that our team has poured in this mammoth effort. Sanjay sir, my crazy genius, the master craftsman... has fought, suffered and sacrificed for this film -- the success of this trailer is a testament to his sheer tenacity and iron will," Ranveer wrote.

He said Bhansali's vision is of a "deeply passionate artist who has bared his infinite soul on celluloid".
"He is tireless and unrelenting in his pursuit of excellence. I am blessed to have had the privilege of being directed by him -- he nurtures me and I learn from him and grow every day," he added.
Ranveer is still shooting for the period drama, and he guarantees that whatever is shown in the trailer, is just a "fraction of what this film has to offer."
Deepika was equally effusive in her thanks. Taking to Twitter, she wrote, “And as this day comes to an end,I cannot even begin to express the gratitude and joy I feel today! I sometimes wonder,’what have I done to deserve so much love and appreciation’..and while I seek, all I can say is a big big Thank You!”

Not just the protagonists, the B-Town celebs are looking extremely hopeful for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's latest venture.
According to Pinkvilla, Alia Bhatt said, "When I saw Deepika’s look in Padmavati I was jumping in my room because it looks so exciting. But initially I wasn’t like that. I am a very competitive person but I feel that we’re in a space where we can actually be inspired by each other’s work."

On the same lines, Ranbir added, "You feel bad but you feel inspired as well. This is my tenth year. Probably earlier on I was more competitive and jealous but then you reach a point where it’s about your survival, your choices and how good you are."
The Tamasha star further added, "Now when I see Varun doing Judwaa I feel happy because so early he has learnt the art of pleasing the audience. When I see the looks of Deepika, Shahid and Ranveer from Padmavati, I’m dying to watch the film."
