Bajirao Mastani had a grand trailer launch with Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Leela Bhansali talking to the media about this epic movie. Priyanka Chopra joined the cast via Skype and got rather emotional while talking about her challenging role. During the media interaction, Indian Express asked the cast what they feel about the open letter a descendant from the Peshwa family wrote regarding the inaccuracies in the movie, especially the song – Pinga. While Deepika and Ranveer kept quiet, Priyanka was the one who addressed this issue head on. She said –

The film is a part of history. The film is based on the book ‘Rau’ and it is also his version of what happened in Bajirao and Mastani love story, please, look at it as a beautiful rendition of epic saga told from the vision of Sanjay sir and nothing more.

At an earlier event, Deepika was asked to respond to this as well but she said that it would be best if Sanjay explains it. During the event, Sanjay didn’t say much about the controversy either, it was Priyanka who made this appeal to the audience, especially the Peshwa family.
