Heath Ledger’s character in The Dark Knight Trilogy is easily one of the best and most loved characters of all time. Fans just can’t get enough of the character and its dialogues.
The fact that the actor Heath Ledger took the character way too seriously and couldn’t survive later made it even more memorable.
Bollywood’s fascination with the said character “Joker” is not hidden from anyone. At times many Bollywood stars have tried to set their scales as higher as Heath while playing a negative role, but couldn’t achieve.
Vivek Oberoi during Krrish 3 even went on to say that his role of Kaal was as good as Joker. Now Ranveer Singh has repeated the same.
Ranveer Singh’s Alauddin Khilji character in Padmavati movie is creating huge waves even before release. There were reports that said, Ranveer opted for method acting in the film and went for complete isolation to adopt the nuances of character. He looked terrific in the trailer and posters and it’s safe to say that people are dying to watch him onscreen.
However, Ranveer went too far recently and hinted that his performance or character in Padmavati will be similar to two of the most loved villains ever, 1. Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange 2. Joker (The Dark Knight Trilogy).
Ranveer posted a pic on Twitter which brings all the three characters at one place and makes you believe that it’s all the same.

Ranveer’s attempt was obviously to hint that his Khilji will bring the Joker and Alex back. However his followers didn’t really agree. Have a look at some reactions that followed-

With all due respect, you are one of the finest actor in todays time. But….comparing your role with joker is just too much. I am not denying you may reach to that level. But it takes a lot of polishing before you get that shine like Heath Ledger. #NotNow pic.twitter.com/kqmDawevTK

Heath ledger was on different level altogether. You can be ANYTHING but joker….You may have acted great but you don't have to compare yourself with him
