Priyanka Chopra is going all out to ensure that her role as Kashibai in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani stands out. It seems that PC is taking extra efforts to spend time with the creative team and understand the body language and nuances that she has to learn for the part. For this she’s also watching some old Marathi shows that have been set around the Peshwas and their time.

Given the fact that it’s a period film, PC is also spending some time understanding the kind of clothes that women would wear and how they would drape their saris, sit and in general communicate with others. Bhansali has given her ample material to study and prepare for this role that is supposed to have more depth and substance than the lead role of Deepika Padukone, who plays Mastani.

These days, PC’s friends find it funny when she has historical old photos of women from the era next to some funky fashion wear on her phone. Unlike her co-star Ranveer Singh, she doesn’t have to do anything drastically different physically to prepare for the role. But her make-up and accessories will be quite startling, it seems.
