'Padmavati' to release next November

Mumbai, Nov 12 Actor Ranveer Singh, known for his quirky streak, announced the release date of his upcoming film "Padmavati" in Roman style.

The actor shared the release date in Roman numerals. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, which also stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor, will hit the screens on November 17 next year.

Ranveer will be seen as Alauddin Khilji, the second ruler of the Khilji dynasty, in the film.

Ranveer also shared a sneak peek of his look in the film and captioned it as " XVII. XI. XVII".

The image captures a magnified look of Ranveer's kohled eyes -- which comes across to be a very menacing stare with some battle scars on his forehead.

Ranveer will also be seen in "Befikre", which will release on December 9.
