Bajirao and Mastani Give Gajanana a Grand Welcome

With just two days to go to Ganesh Chathurthi, Deepika and Ranveer launched the first song from their upcoming film, titled Gajanana, at the Bhalewadi Stadium on September 15

Bajirao Mastani co-stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone took Pune by storm on September 15 - quite literally, having braved bad weather to fly there in a chopper. With just two days to go to Ganesh Chathurthi, Deepika and Ranveer launched the first song from their upcoming film, titled Gajanana, at the Bhalewadi Stadium.

Deepika, who will be seen as Bajirao's second wife Mastani was simply dressed in neutral colours. Ranveer, who will play the titular role of Maratha general Peshwa Bajirao I in the movie, was dressed in black and grey.
It appears that Deepika was happy to let Ranveer have the floor. Made by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, their Ram Leela director, Bajirao Mastani is set to release in December.
Ranveer's enthusiasm proved infectious and Deepika joined the revelry for a bit.

Ranveer, who was the heart and soul of the event, said that choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant calls him a 'visarjan specialist'.
He also let a security cop twirl his moustache.
A massive crowd waited for Deepika and Ranveer at the stadium. The Bajirao Mastani team also aims to make it to the Guinness Book of World Records at the event by forming the largest-ever mosaic image of Ganpati made up of humans.

Earlier in the day, the duo had quite an adventure getting to Pune when their first attempt to land failed. Thanks to the 'stupid clouds' Ranveer mentioned on Twitter, the actors had to turn back and make a second attempt.

But they cheered up later, having finally made it.
