Ranveer Singh – Deepika Padukone in SLB’s Bajirao Mastani?

Ranveer SinghRam Leela star Ranveer Singh is one of the top contenders to play the character of Baji Rao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-delayed and most-talked about film ‘Bajirao Mastani’.

In the recent past, big names like Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan have been rumoured to play the role, but the rumours were quickly put to rest by Bhansali.

Now, Ranveer’s spokesperson has confirmed that Ranveer is in ‘advance talks’ for the film. While the actor hasn’t yet signed on the dotted line, he could eventually sign the film.

“He is in advance talks for the film. Till things are finalised we cannot say anything,” Ranveer’s spokesperson told PTI.

Baji Rao was a general who served as Peshwa (Prime Minister) to the fourth Maratha Chhatrapati (emperor) Shahu from 1720. He was credited with expanding the Maratha empire.

Bhansali had been planning to make a film on Peshwa Bajirao and his ladylove Mastani for the last 15 years. His dream cast for the film were Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

A source also said Deepika Padukone is likely to play the role of Mastani.

  • I don’t think it will ever happen as Slb always change the starcast(especially male) for his films.ranveer is a good actor.
    But my first choice is hrithik. Amir and srk doesn’t have these kind of style and looks to play it. .akki mayn’t show much intensity. .ajay has not that good luks. .rk is still in a chocolate boy image. .so hro will be the best choice.

  • Ajay Devgn is also in talks for the role of Bajirao. I think him along with Hrithik (who would not do this because of resemblances from Jodhaa Akbar) and Ranveer Singh would be ideal choices to play a ruler.

  • There is a news that these 2 are doing shuddhi which will take almost 8months and now Bajirao Mastani which will take almost a year.How can these 2 do both movies
    And also they are going to be in Aditya Chopra’s next.It seems that every big movie,Deepika and Ranveer names are attached to it.Their PR’s are doing a great job
    Anyway want to see Ajay and Sonakshi in it

  • WTF!!! please stick o your dream cast ” Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.” if not go with SRk or Hritik…. Ranveer in your dream project?…… it will only attain hit status in your DREAM Bansali

  • Once again rockz Goliyon ka laonda and Goliyon ka kali rani. sure blockbuster hogi. waiting for that.. slb best. pls @INDICINE publish this comment…..

  • it would have been great had salman and aishwariya done the movie. the film would just not be the same without them. i think it should not be made. though i have a feeling he will cast ranveer and deepika again. it may become a hit but it would have been a classic with salman and aishwariya, but that is no longer possible!

  • the two actors presently who i think can play the role of a maratha warrior are salman and hrithik. only they have the good looks, the personality, the screen presence, the physique and the intensity to play the role. actors like srk and ranveer are good actors but not the complete package that the role demands. no offence to any actor.

  • the budget of SLB movies are very high.. bajirao mastani has been a dream project of bhansali.. the genre of the movie is such and considering the fact that it is SLB’s dream project and also the fact SLB is known to spend lavishly on his films, bajirao mastani needs a superstar like srk, salman, aamir or hrithik.. even for a small movie like ram leela the budget was way too high.. bajirao mastani would be a risky proposition with ranveer.. out of the four superstars salman and hrithik suit the role.. i think he should go with salman as he was his dream cast..

  • hr is the bad choice because his intensity is not so deep also he is not suitable for any romantic movies,slb’s last best movie is DEVDAS,no one could play this role better than KING SRK but ranveer is again bad for a dream project there is much chance it could like saawariya.

  • I hate indicine for publishing comments late,we come hear for dat and u people just destroy the fun by pubblishing comments late gud bye

  • I guess Ranvir is apt and also age wise suitable for the role, as Baji Rao was very young guy when he was appointed to the lead the troops.

    Deepika is doing great, but when you read the story of Mastani, you will find that physically she is not suitable for such a role, as Mastani was a skilled in sword fight, horseriding etc., also her parental lineage means she has a mix of Indian and Persian look.

    Whatever, the Director is the best to decide. It would be a great movie if made right.

  • ranveer singh fillms out of 5 released are of yrf films which directed talented manish sharma he can show zayed as good actor and bhansali,motwani is directors of par excellence they can bring good work out of sanjay kapoor too…ranveer feku singh did wooden expressions and 0 acting abitlity in gunday due to not good director infact failed to live up play the lead role…
