The "Ram-Leela" couple is back! Actress Deepika
Padukone will play historical character Mastani with Ranveer Singh playing
Bajirao Peshwa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Bajirao Mastani".
The casting of Ranveer and Deepika puts an end to months of
speculation about who would play the role. Besides Ranveer, Shah Rukh Khan and
Ajay Devgn were the strongest contenders for Bajirao's role.
As for Mastani, Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were also
considered.
"Sanjay Leela Bhansali was keen on Deepika for
Mastani's part. But she couldn't seem to accommodate the long schedules
required for 'Bajirao Mastani', specially since she gave the nod to Karan
Johar's 'Shuddhi' which would take up close to 150 shooting days," told a
source.
However, later Deepika is said to have informed the director
that she would be able to fit "Bajirao Mastani" into her schedule.
