Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s magnum opus Bajirao Mastani has been much talked about for its casting over the years. Now that he has finally zeroed in on his Ram Leela casting of Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, there has been another addition to this cast. It’s none other than the super good looking and charismatic Milind Soman! Remember him in Alisha Chinai‘s music video Made in India? Yes, that. *drools*
Soman will be seen in an action packed avatar in Sanjay’s period drama, which is a love story between Peshwa Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) and Mastani (Deepika Padukone). The actor who has reportedly met SLB a number of times over the past few weeks, we hear, is required to learn the popular martial art form – Kalaripayattu. He will also be seen doing a lot of sword-fighting and hand-to-hand combat. We can’t wait to see him in the new avatar!
The film, which is touted to be one of the most expensive films in the history of Bollywood cinema, will be produced by Eros International and is slated for a December release in the year of 2015.
