A source close to the actor said, “Ranveer hurt himself on the head while shooting for the film during a particular take but he was so engrossed in the performance that he did not realise it till cut was called. It's only after he started bleeding profusely from the head after cut was called did everyone realise that he was hurt badly. Ranveer received initial first aid on the set and was rushed immediately to a nearby hospital for immediate treatment. He completed the basic treatment and returned to the film's set. He requires stitches on the head."
In spite of being severely injured, Ranveer completed the day’s work. Ranveer is essaying the role of Alauddin Khilji in Bhansali's film, which is his first grey character.
Revealing a bit about his role, the handsome actor in an interview said, "What a guy! Can’t believe he does the things he does, he is an appalling human being. You can’t even call him a human being, call him a ‘haivaan’."
