Being a part of #BajiraoMastani is a milestone in my life! Thank you Sanjay Sir for being a dream. Thank you team.

'Bajirao Mastani' toughest film of my career: Deepika
Deepika Padukone has stepped into period drama genre with “Bajirao Mastani”, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical love saga is turning out to be an arduous task for the actress. She says the film is “physically, mentally and emotionally draining”. “The film is definitely the toughest of my career. The film has been extremely draining, be it physically, mentally or emotionally. The nature of the movie and the director is very demanding,” Deepika said at the film's song launch here. The track titled "Deewani Mastani" was launched at Day One of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour 2015 here on Saturday. The actress has teamed up with Bhansali for the second time -- “Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela” was the first. “Bajirao Mastani” narrates the love story of Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I (played by Ranveer Singh) and his second wife Mastani (Deepika). Actress Priyanka Chopra plays Bajirao's first wife Kashibai. The film is scheduled to release on December 18. For Deepika, the push by the director helps an actor push the envelope and get better in the craft. “He (Bhansali) is never happy with what he sees. He is very clear about what he wants from his actors and team. So, he pushes you and helps you discover something within yourself that you didn’t know existed,” the actress said. “He is a hard task master. You learn so much about yourself. It has been the most difficult experience, but in the end you feel it is worth it,” she added. After making a name for herself in the world of modelling, Deepika entered Bollywood with “Om Shanti Om” in 2007, and went on to take Hindi filmdom with a storm. She has been appreciated by one and all for experimenting with different storylines like “Piku”, “Aarakshan” and “Finding Fanny”. Her line-up of upcoming movies is also quite impressive like “Tamasha” apart from “Bajirao Mastani”.

People thought 'Bajirao Mastani' will never happen: Bhansali
Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali says people thought he'll never be able to make his ambitious project "Bajirao Mastani" -- a film that he planned to make for the past 12 years. "I kept holding it for 12 years and kept thinking about it for 12 years. People thought this will never happen, that it was impossible for the film to be made. 'Every year he begins it and every year he scraps it'," said Bhansali. He initially wanted to cast his "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" actors Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the title roles. Bhansali said: "Several people came in and several went out. But it is written in the destiny of our Bajirao, Mastani and Kashibai (actors). Bajirao, Mastani and Kashibai's souls had a will that these people (actors Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra) do this film and nothing could go against it." "It was their blessings. And so, when it had to be made, it got made," he added. About the experience of completing the film, Bhansali said: "It's a wonderful state to be in, that's why we make films to experience this one moment of seeing it on the screen. Economics might matter or not matter, films are obviously made with money but more than money, it's made with passion and with people." "There are several talented people who've worked on this film. They're relieved. There is that sadness, emptiness and the feeling that it's done, now I'm jobless," he added. "Bajirao Mastani" will hit the screens on December 18.
