"It was a very physically demanding film, so I worked hard for that. Even acting was very tough for this film. I am really happy that I got this character," Ranveer, who plays the 18th century Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao I, said.
"Bajirao Mastani changed me a lot personally and professionally. It made me a stronger and wiser person," he added.
When asked if there are any similarities between his real life and his reel life character in Bajirao Mastani, he said: "Bajirao ki life mein bahut drama hai (There's a lot of drama in Bajirao's life)."
The movie also stars Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, and is slated to release on December 18, the same date as Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's much-awaited romantic drama Dilwale.
"I'm nervous about my film. Bhansali sir had wanted to make this film since 12 to 15 years," he said.
The Band Baaja Baaraat actor believes that people like period dramas, and "so I think they will love this movie".
He also said that considering the fact that Salman Khan was to feature in the role that he has finally played, he hopes to live up to his expectations.
