Deepika has been trained by renowned Ghoomar expert Jyoti D Tommaar of Gangaur Ghoomar Dance Academy.
The authentic Ghoomar School was founded by the late Geverdan Kumariji of Santrampur (former princess of Kishangarh, Rajasthan).
The film is based on legendary Rajput queen Rani Padmini and has three lead characters: Padmavati (Deepika Padukone), Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor) and Sultan Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh).
