'Bajirao Mastani' is a Bollywood
romcom film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film stars the talented trio
– Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra. The plot of the film is
based on the love story of Mastani, the second wife of Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I.
Further it creates a love triangle with Bajirao’s first wife Kashibai. The many reasons to watch the grand drama:
1.
The Showman Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Bhansali
is known for his grand sets and detailed work whether it is a period drama film
or a beautiful love saga. The show man director believes in the larger than
life demonstration which he had already proved in his previous projects like ‘Goliyon
Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’ (2013) and ‘Devdas’ (2002).

2. The Pairing of Ranveer-Deepika
The
handsome hunk Ranveer Singh is ready to go to any level to give a perfect shot
and this time the awesome actor has gone bald for the role of Maratha Peshwa
Bajirao I in magnum opus ‘Bajirao Mastani’. Ranveer is a self-made Bollywood actor
who has won millions of heart with his chilled out attitude. The
model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone is playing the role of Mastani, the
second wife of Bajirao in the film. The liberated actress is said to be the
mirror-image of miss world Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who was always the first
choice of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

3. Period Costumes by the Designer Anju Modi
Whereas,
Bhansali works on grand sets and larger than life characters, the costume
designer Anju Modi weaves the characters through her period costumes. The true
to her vision designer guided her scissors in the right path to create the
magic in the epic period drama. Anju has
shown her creative work in the 2013 film ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’, where
she styled the dual divas, Deepika and Priyanka.

The
selection of a perfect face for the crucial and important role of Bajirao’s
mother was never a cake walk. Bhansali went through a series of actresses like,
Shabana Azmi, Dimple Kapadia and Supriya Pathak for the vital role and at last finalized
Tanvi Azmi for the epic role of Radhabai. It is of much interest that the
actress has gone bald for her role in the movie.

5. Daksha Sheth, the Trainer of Kalaripayattu
The ace
Bollywood director Bhansali is a real-time perfectionist who is seldom ready to
turn down any of his card and thus he approached Daksha Sheth to train his film
actors in Kalaripayattu, an ancient martial art form.
