Deepika Padukone is on a research spree to prep for her role in 'Padmavati'.

Deepika is leaving no stone unturned in getting into the skin of her character and is taking extra efforts to give away her best.

Earlier, Deepika who was spotted carrying books on the history of Rajasthan is now exploring the cities in Rajasthan to understand the nature of her character in Padmavati.

The actress traveled to Chittorgarh on her own and, in fact, walked around a lot of local places and historical sites to get familiar with all the age-old structures and also gather as much information about them as possible.

As history has it, Rani Padmini was brought to Chittorgarh or Chittor by the Rajput ruler Raja Rawal Ratan Singh after marrying her. Hence, the place is of utmost importance to Deepika with regard to her role.

While talking about the history Deepika said, "I shot for Padmavati in November and December. There was something extremely magical about it and I hope that the magic continues when I start shooting for the film again."
