Top 5 reasons to watch 'Bajirao Mastani'!

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali stuns the viewers every time he announces a project. The audience this time is eagerly awaiting the release of his magnum opus 'Bajirao Mastani'. The film has created enough buzz around it—be it the star cast or its clash with Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Dilwale' on December 18, 2015—'Bajirao Mastani' continues to be in news. Today, we list out the top 5 reasons on why you can't afford to miss this lavish treat for your eyes. Check out:

Ranveer Singh

The last time we saw this actor in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's (SLB) film 'Ram-Leela', he proved how well he can enact a tough character with elan. Ranveer has gone bald for 'Bajirao...', a difficult call for any actor to part with his beautiful mane. But, the talented star has yet again shown that he can go to any extent to make his on-screen character look as real as possible. We are ready to watch Ranveer in the role of a Maratha Peshwa warrior.

Deepika Padukone

Both Ranveer and Deepika worked with SLB in 'Ram-Leela' and this time the latter will essay Mastani's role on-screen. Many are aware that the director always had Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in mind while conceptualising this character but now that Dippy has done it, we are sure she must have added her own touch to the character. Ready to see Deepika as Mastani?

Priyanka Chopra

Actress Priyanka Chopra will be seen playing Ranveer's wife in the movie. PeeCee will be seen as Kashibai, who is Bajirao's better half. It will be interesting to see the two play man and woman on reel as they played siblings in their last film 'Dil Dhadakne Do'. Their chemistry was seen in 'Gunday' and now we are ready to see a love triangle, with Deepika, Priyanka and Ranveer in the lead roles.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

This maverick filmmaker has always delivered a master piece on-screen. 'Bajirao Mastani' had always been in news. The director originally wanted Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles, which however didn't happen. Now, with Ranveer, Deepika and Priyanka we really want to see how grand and beautifully the story has been presented.

Storyline

'Bajirao Mastani' goes back in history and has an interesting storyline. The film is all about the life of Maratha warrior-Peshwa Baji Rao I of the Maratha Empire and his second wife Mastani. The movie will also capture the warrior's relationship with his first wife Kashibai. So, let's see a beautiful historic story unfold before us in SLB's grand style!
