After Black & Sawariya Sanjay leela Bhansali is now working hard for the long nurture dream of making a historical epic, Bajirao Mastani. The role of Bajirao is already been offered to the Salman khan and Supermodel Shivani Kapoor will be playing the role of Mastani — an enigmatic figure in Maharashtra’s history.
What is this film (Bajirao Mastani) all about?
Mastani, known for her legendary beauty and talent, was a dancer and the concubine of Peshwa Bajirao I. Their love story is a well-known folktale. Mastani was supposedly the daughter of Chhatrasal Bundela, the king of Bundelkhand (Madhya Pradesh).
Never know before like we have one more symbol of Love apart from Taj Mahal which is Mastani Mahsl. According to historians, Bajirao constructed the Mastani Mahal, a palace at Kothrud, Pune in 1734 AD, for his beloved. The film will reopen a colourful chapter of Maharashtra’s history, which has been hidden in the pages of research books until now.
Today, her grave stands – solitary and deserted – in front of an abandoned mosque on the Pune-Nasik highway. Her only known portrait hangs in the Menavali Palace of Nana Phadnis, the prime minister of the Peshwas. Menavali is a few kilometers away from the historic town of Wai, on the banks of the River Krishna.
History also records that the Peshwa built the beautiful Mastani Palace for her in Kothrud near Pune. This palace stood in a dilapidated condition on a wasteland for a long time, until it was auctioned to industrialists for building a factory some years ago. Little knowing that the palace was a heritage building, the corporate house that bought it, allowed antique collectors from Pune’s Raja Kelkar Museum to buy the broken down, ancient wood carved features of the palace. The Kelkar Museum recreated the palace fully and it is now on view in Pune, in the museum.
So will Bajirao Mastani will be able to hit the box office like Jodha Akhbar?
Will Salman Khan will be able to win the hearts of people by playing Bajirao's character?
