MUMBAI: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film Malaal is not the actual debut film of its lead actor Meezaan Jaffery.

In a media interaction, Meezaan revealed that he had featured in Padmaavat as a replacement for Ranveer Singh for a particular shot. Ranveer, due to brand commitments, could not be present on the specific day. That is when he stepped in to make his screen debut.
