Amitabh Bachchan just made Ranveer Singh's day by sending him a handwritten note praising his performance as Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat.

Calling the letter his "award", an overwhelmed Ranveer took to Twitter to share the picture of the note and a bouquet Bachchan sent him after watching the Sanjay Leela Bhansali period drama.

"Mujhe mera award mil gaya (I have got my award) @SrBachchan," the actor, who is receiving rave reviews for his portrayal of Sultan Alauddin Khilji in the magum opus, captioned the tweet.

Ranveer also received a handwritten note in 2015, after Bachchan had watched Bajirao Mastani.

Featuring Deepika Padukone in the lead, Padmaavat also stars Shahid Kapoor, Jim Sarbh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Raza Murad. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama marched past the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office in its opening weekend.

Ranveer had said playing Khilji was an "extremely turbulent emotional experience". "It took a lot out of me. So, to witness this kind of audience appreciation makes me feel like it was all worth it."
