Padmavati actor Ranveer Singh TROLLED for comparing himself with Heath Ledger

Though Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati is currently embroiled in controversy, the lead actor Ranveer Singh is busy promoting the much-awaited film in his own way. The popular Bollywood star has managed to receive rave reviews for his first look in the period drama.

The 'Befikre' actor took to social media to share a collage picture where his character in the film is photoshopped with two of the most popular villains in Hollywood. Heath Ledger’s Joker avatar from 'The Dark Knight' and Malcolm Mcdowell’s Alex Delarge face from A Clockwork Orange were merged with Ranveer's Alauddin Khilji to make it look like a single face.

The original meme featured Brad Pitt's look as Tyler Durden from 'Fight Club' and has been making waves for a long time.

Check out the picture right here.

The 'Gunday' actor had to face the ire of the fans who were not so impressed with the picture. Many fans took to Twitter to ask the charismatic actor to stop comparing him with the classic performers.

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
