Ranveer in a still from Bajirao Mastani.
New Delhi:
Two new posters for Bajirao Mastani have been released within 24 hours of each other and turned out to be a Ranveer-fest.
Ranveer Singh, who stars as the Maratha ruler Peshwa Bajirao I, has the latest poster all to himself and is featured mid-battle, on horseback, wielding a blood-soaked sword.
The second poster was preceded by one in which Ranveer was joined by Deepika Padukone, who plays the Mastani of the title. They stand hand-in-hand, dressed in finery, droplets of water forming a halo around them as lotuses bloom at their feet on the new poster of Bajirao Mastani.
These appear to be happy times for their characters as they gaze serenely into the distance. Conspicuous by her absence is Priyanka Chopra, who plays the Peshwa's first wife Kashibai.
Deepika and Ranveer's last film together Goliyon Ka Ras Leela Ram-Leela went through several name changes after Hindu groups objected to just 'Ram Leela' being used. Bajirao Mastani has also gathered some dust lately with descendants of the Maratha ruler writing to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis about the 'altered history' in the film. Pinga, the lavani-style dance-off between Deepika and Priyanka, has caused particular offence. (Also Read: Bajirao's Descendants Object to 'Altered History,' Dancing Kashibai)
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the period drama hits screens on December 18, the same day as Rohit Shetty's Dilwale, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.
