In Bajirao Mastani’s first trailer, Ranveer Singh is Maratha general Bajirao who fought Mughals for establishment of a Hindu empire. Priyanka Chopra plays his supportive wife Kashibai. Deepika Padukone is the wildcard, the Muslim warrior princess Mastani.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani’s trailer proves one thing for sure: The filmmaker has lost none of his panache for scale and grandeur. Long shots of palaces and jewel-adorned women, Ranveer practically flying over the head of soldiers to attack a man on an elephant, Deepika in battle regalia as she launches fire-tipped arrows and Priyanka romancing the diyas a la Aishwarya in Devdas – every staple we expect from Bhansali.
