Bajirao Mastani is one of the most adored Bollywood epic historical romance movies. The set dripping with grandiose, brilliant performances, outstanding direction, and unforgettable music make this movie a treat to remember forever. On its 5th anniversary, here is a list of some of the interesting things that make Bajorao Mastani even more special: -
1. With a box office collection of more than INR 350 crores, Bajirao Mastani is one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
2. Sanjay LeelaBhansali always wanted a pair for the titular roles whose chemistry would be startling. He wanted to repeat Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai just after finishing Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam but due to their over-publicized break-up, SLB shelved this project. Years later when he cast Ranveer-Deepika as Ram &Leela for another magnum opus period drama, he was confident that he finally found his Bajirao&Mastani. The rest as they say is history.
3. There were discussions with Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji too in the early ‘00s but again this project got jinxed.
4. People admire Bhansali’s work because he is the Aamir Khan of direction. He is meticulous about his characters and cannot keep quiet until that level of perfection is achieved. For the portrayal of Kashibai, he thus made sure Priyanka Chopra speaks that Marathi which was spoken during the Peshwa reign. She, therefore, underwent an extensive fortnight coaching course to learn that dialect.
5. If you also loved TanviAzmi as Radhabai – the mother of Bajirao, then, you must know that she wasn’t the first choice. ShabanaAzmi, Supriya Pathak, and Dimple Kapadia were approached before her. But as they say, it was destined for TanviAzmi. And how brilliant was her performance! She truly deserved all the accolades.
6. Do you remember DeepikaPadukone donning that warrior look? Well, then you must know that her armor was around 20kgs.
7. Some of the actors had to learn Kalaripayattu – an ancient Indian martial art.
8. A Sanjay LeelaBhansali movie set looks real – right? It would delight you that the pillars in this movie were made of wood – such is the perfection level of this master director.
