‘Bajirao Mastani’ role one of my hardest ever: Priyanka Chopra

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra says her character in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming love saga ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is one of her most difficult roles and working on the film is draining. The 32-year-old ‘Mary Kom’ star is currently shooting for the period romance, which also stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Bajirao Mastani', Priyanka plays the role of Kashibai, Bajirao's first wife. While Ranveer Singh is essaying the character of Bajirao in the film, Deepika Padukone will be seen as his second wife, Mastani.

Ranveer's tonsured head had taken social networks by storm after a photo of the same was posted online. And in another photo leaked online, Priyanka can be seen in the Kashibai avatar in a Marathi-style red saree and minimal jewellery. The 'Mary Kom' star had played Marathi women in films like 'Kaminey' and 'Agneepath' earlier. However, playing a Marathi Peshwa's wife in a period film of this kind is the first for Priyanka.
