Sanjay Leela Bhansali is back in action. The filmmaker has started the next schedule of his ambitious project 'Bajirao Mastani'. As it was the 315th birth anniversary of Peshwa Bajirao, Bhansali decided to celebrate this occasion by meeting the descendants of the brave warrior.
A source reveals, "Bhansali wanted to introduce his cast and crew to the descendants of the Peshwa lineage. He had met them as part of research for his period drama and was keen to see them again. Though he and his team have been working on a tight schedule, he decided to set aside one day to celebrate Bajirao's birth anniversary with the members of the royal family, who accepted his invitation and came here from Pune."
"Thirteen from the family visited the set and were overwhelmed by Bhansali's gesture. They were welcomed with garlands and given royal treatment. They were happy to meet the star cast and expressed that they liked the film's teaser as well as the detailing of characters."
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone who play the lead roles in the movie, interacted with Peshwa's family members for the first time. Unfortunately Priyanka Chopra wouldn't be a part of this celebration, due to her international work commitments.
Vegetarian lunch was arranged for the guest after the cake cutting ceremony.
Dippy says, "It was a special occasion for all us to have the Peshwa family amidst us on the birth anniversary of the great warrior. I am glad we were all together in this celebration."
Here's the picture of 10th and 11th generation of Peshwa with Bhansali and Ranveer.
