00:00 Bajirao Mastani, a period drama and another proof of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's huge empire,
00:08 completed eight years of its release.
00:10 This film, starring Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh,
00:16 represents the essence of Peshwa Bajirao's life.
00:19 Historical characters are always more difficult to portray than usual characters
00:25 as there comes a major responsibility to handle the dignity of the characters
00:31 and these actors fulfil it in quite successful manner.
00:35 Except the one when people targeted the makers saying
00:39 "Kashi Bai and Mastani never danced with each other."
00:43 Well, this film was a commercial success and its credit goes to the makers and actors
00:51 who gave their hearts to the film.
00:53 But it was not easy for actors to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
00:58 Ranveer Singh called it a high-pressure job.
01:02 In an old interview with Deccan Chronicle, Ranveer Singh opened up about the work process of Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
01:10 Before Bajirao Mastani, released in the year 2015,
01:14 Ranveer Singh had made a movie under Bhansali's venture, Goliyon Ki Raj Leela Ram Leela.
01:20 And thus, when he was asked about the best and worst thing about working with Bhansali,
01:26 he said that he is a very collaborative director throughout the process.
01:31 But the same best thing can be worse too.
01:34 He further explained, "You never know what he wants, as most of the time he also doesn't know what he wants.
01:41 He is also exploring, discovering. It's a beautiful process but it can become a very high-pressure job.
01:48 Sometimes he decides on the spot what he wants you to say and you have 5 minutes before the camera starts rolling.
01:55 But then he will do everything in his power to help you live up to the challenge."
02:00 Ranveer's preparation journey for the role of Peshwa Bajirao was thrilling for him.
02:06 He wanted to leave the city but he couldn't because the director wanted him to be in contact regularly.
02:13 But he stayed away from his close people to leave Ranveer Singh behind and to get a hold of the character.
02:21 His ascent coach trained him very well.
02:24 He watched Marathi movies, watched epic dramas, read his script multiple times.
02:29 He worked on his voice, his body posture to reflect Bajirao Peshwa on screen.
02:34 For that character, Ranveer Singh received Filmfare Best Actor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali was awarded with the National Film Award for the Best Direction.
