The Happy New Year actress will be seen playing the role of a warrior princess in the period drama, which stars Ranveer Singh as Peshwa Bajirao and Priyanka Chopra as his first wife Kashibai.
With less than 2 months to go, Bhansali is looking at a chock-a-block schedule to make sure his ambitious film hits the theatres on December 18. Of course, the fact that it clashes with Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol starrer Dilwale doesn't make it any easier.
The impending clash has already created a rift between SRK and Deepika (Shah Rukh vs Deepika war gets nastier, September 23). Not just that, SpotboyE also told you how Bajirao Mastani camp sent feelers to SRK to push Dilwale's release date ahead (Bhansali & Eros call Shah Rukh to postpone Dilwale, albeit indirectly?, October 27).
With tension building up with every passing day, be prepared for fireworks on December 18.
