A masterpiece of love, and war, exploring the romantic side of a 18th-century Maratha general, Bajirao Ballal Bhat, a brahmin by birth and who fought and won 41 battles at a stretch against the Mughals with an aim to create a unified Hindu kingdom across India.

The glorious rule of the Peshwas, its grandeur, their culture, and the their large heartedness during those times takes us back to that era of righteous rulers which we have only learnt in our history lessons.

It opens with a Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shahu (Mahesh Manjrekar) seeking nominations for the post of the Peshwa (a Prime Ministerial candidate). The brahmin youth Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) with his superlative display of his skill and wisdom lands him the title. History has a special mention about this Peshwa’s reputation as a warrior and statesman par excellence which is widely known.

Official poster of Bajirao from Bajirao Mastani

Eros International and Bhansali Productions today unveiled the first official poster of Bajirao Mastani that is a 60 feet long drop down from a building at Film City. 

Ranveer Singhunveiled the mind-blowing poster of Bajirao in a larger-than-life fashion! 

At the launch event, Ranveer Singh mesmerised his fans who came from across Mumbai city by taking selfies with each one of them. The crowd cheered and hooted for him till the end.

Keeping in line with the grandeur and scale of the film, it was indeed the grandest poster launch of the biggest film of the year, the magnum opus that comes once in every 50 years—Eros International and Bhansali Productions’ BAJIRAO MASTANI.

Bajirao Mastani produced by Eros International and Bhansali Productions, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali to be released worldwide on December 18.

Ranveer’s look in Bajirao Mastani

Playing a character in a period drama requires an actor to live and breathe in a different era altogether. It’s because of this that Ranveer Singh is trying unusual ways to ensure that he delivers better than his best as Peshwa Bajirao. One such method is to call him ‘Rao’ instead of Ranveer Singh on set. 

In playing Peshwa Bajirao, Ranveer Singh has taken on a once in a lifetime role; that of a fearsome Maratha warrior and a just king who is still remembered in folktales. Lots have been said about his physical & mental preparation for this part. 

In order to ensure that he stays focused while shooting, Ranveer has surprised his assistant directors with an odd request. He has asked everyone to call him ‘Rao’ and address him with the name of his character.
