New Delhi:
After reports which said that a Pune-based lawyer was mistreated during the shoot of Bajirao Mastani, the spokesperson of the film's director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on October 17 clarified that the crew has "been extremely professional" and did not misbehave with anyone present on the sets.
There were reports that lawyer Wajidkhan Rahim Khan-Bidkar took a legal action on October 16 against the team, especially against Mr Bhansali and lead actor Ranveer Singh.
According to the report, the lawyer was allegedly "manhandled and pushed by the bouncers."
However, Mr Bhansali's spokesperson said the shoot "took off smoothly."
"The team of Bajirao Mastani was shooting on Friday at the Bhor Rajwada court in Pune. When crucial shots had to be taken, the few people present in the court were asked to leave so as to avoid chaos and crowding. The crew has been extremely professional and ensured that the shoot took off smoothly and in the most respectful manner." Mr Bhansali's spokesperson said in a statement.
Mr Bhansali's magnum opus Bajirao Mastani narrates the story of Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I, and his warrior queen Mastani. Ranveer and Deepika Padukone portray the titular protagonists, while Priyanka Chopra plays Bajirao's first wife Kashibai. (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra: Bajirao Mastani is a Milestone in My Life)
