Mumbai: Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra feels no one is better than Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as Bajirao and Mastani in upcoming film Bajirao Mastani.
Directed Sanjay Leela Bhansali reportedly wanted to make Bajirao Mastani with Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan but things did not work out.
"I will have to imagine Salman and Aishwarya playing these roles first, and then I have to think of Ranveer and Deepika upstaging it. It is complicated. I think no one is better than Ranveer and Deepika as Bajirao and Mastani," Priyanka told reporters when asked if Ranveer and Deepika can upstage the chemistry that Salman and Aishwarya could have created.
"This film has taken 12 years. I believe when the film is made and the actors who do it, it is their film eventually," said Priyanka, who plays the role of Bajirao's first wife Kashibai in the film. Of the allegations by Prasadrao Peshwa, descendant of Bajirao Peshwa I that historical facts have been 'altered' while portraying the Maratha general and his wives Kashibai and Mastani in the film, Ranveer said, "I am an actor my job is to act. The producers will answer it."
The actors were speaking at an event to launch the song of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film which releases on December 18.
