Mumbai:
Designer Anju Modi, who is working on the costumes for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani, said that actress Deepika Padukone will sport a "royal style" in the film.
"Deepika will be seen dressed in royal style, plus she is playing a Muslim character in the film, so we have tried to give her sharara and kurtis," the designer said at the Aza Store.
Giving insights into the film's costumes, Anju said, "Bajirao Mastani is a period movie. So, we have kept old Mughal style Angarkha and Maharashtrian style Nauwari saris as it's a story about the Maratha Peshwas."
The ace designer is a founding member of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), and made her Bollywood debut as a designer with Mr Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela where she took ethnic designs to a different level altogether.
Bajirao Mastani is based on the love story between 18th century Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao I (Ranveer Singh) and his second wife Mastani (Deepika). Actress Priyanka Chopra plays the role of Kashibai, the first wife of Peshwa Bajirao.
