Saturday, 27th Sept2014, 6:16 PM IST Actresses like Shabana Azmi, Dimple Kapadia and Supriya Pathak were considered to play Ranveer Singh’s mother in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Bajirao Mastani’, but Tanvi Azmi has won the race to bag the role. It is learnt that SLB was not keen on directing Shabana Azmi because he is quite anxious by her personality.
A source close to the project reveals, "Supriyaji was out because SLB had already worked his magic on her talents in ‘Ram Leela’.Getting Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Surpriya Pathak together again in ‘Bajirao Mastani’ after ‘Ram Leela’ would have been too much of an instant replay." Well, when it comes to Dimple Kapadia, it is said that she was not selected as the makers feel that her personality is too urbane for the part. And then finally Tanvi Azmi was on board. However, before signing the dotted lines Tanvi went through a compatibility test with Ranveer. The test was taken to see whether they looked like mother and son or not. |
