Tuesday, 1st Dec 2015, 4:14 PM IST Priyanka Chopra will be seen playing the role of Kashibai in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’. The actress says that she did the film for the director. Priyanka said, "I did this film for Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I know you all will ask me, 'Mastani is played by Deepika (Padukone), and Bajirao is played by Ranveer (Singh). So why did you do this film?' Let me tell you, I was the first person to be cast in this film. I remember Sanjay came to me with this script and he was clear he wanted me to do this film." "I thought Kashibai's character was very heart-breaking. This is a feminine character and it was very challenging for me to do the role... It's a special film for me. I am just super excited to be part of it," the actress added. She further added that it was not an easy role for her. PeeCee said, "It was not easy to do this role. I wanted to get the Maharashtrian accent right and there were many dramatic scenes, which I used to take back home. I am generally a switch on and off actor, but this character was very heart-wrenching."
