Meezaan Jaffery, who recently appeared in ‘Hungama 2’, made his silver screen debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Padmaavat’ as a body double for Ranveer Singh.
In a new interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, he recalled the experience of playing Ranveer Singh's body double.
He told him that assisting Bhansali on 'Padmaavat' and witnessing Ranveer, Deepika Padukone, and Shahid Kapoor on set taught him a lot. "Bhansali sir trusted me, and he would rehearse scenes with me. He would record the rehearsals and the blockings, and he'd give me feedback on my performance."
