Bajirao Mastani To be Relaunched

Bajirao Mastani a film that Bhansali first spoke about in 1999 and which is best remembered for the acrimonious fallout between his chosen lead pair in 2002 – Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai. The epic historical, based on the life of Peshwa  Bajirao and his ladylove Mastani, went through several casting changes  but never really made it to the finishing line. But the jinx could well wear off, now that Eros International has agreed to produce the film.Early buzz suggests Bhansali is eyeing a casting coup of sorts. He is in advanced stages of talks with Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif for the roles of Mastani and Bajirao’s wife Kashibai.

A source close to the developments told “After Ram Leela releases in October 2013, Bhansali will start with the pre production of Bajirao Mastani. He will begin shooting in April 2014.Apparently, Bhansali has had a word with both Deepika and Katrina. The girls have shown tremendous interest,Bhansali is yet to finalise any actor for Bajirao’s role.”

Well it will be interesting to see how the two girls get along,considering what they have in common.All you need now is Ranbir Kapoor coming on board as Bajirao, and you have a Silsila all over again.
