While,
Deepika
will
play
the
role
of
Mastani
who
happens
to
be
the
second
wife
of
Bajirao
played
by
Ranveer
Singh,
Priyanka
Chopra
will
be
seen
as
the
first
wife
Kashi
Bai.
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
has
been
very
excited
about
the
project
and
shooting
for
the
same
has
begun
recently.
On
the
other
side,
there
were
rumours
that
Happy
New
Year
actress
Deepika
Padukone
was
not
very
happy
regarding
the
length
of
role
set
for
Priyanka
in
Bajirao
Mastani.
However,
Deepika
Padukone
clearly
denied
any
such
issues
between
her
and
Priyanka
Chopra
and
claimed
that
she
is
very
fond
of
PeeCee.
"There
is
absolutely
no
truth
to
this
and
I
really
request
all
of
you
also
to
not
bring
this
up
again
after
this
because
we
are
already
working
in
a
lovely
environment
where
everyone
is
getting
along
with
everybody,"
said
Ram-Leela
actress
Deepika
Padukone.
Deepika
further
added,
"All
three
of
us
have
been
given
the
same
narration,
the
same
script.
We're
very
well
aware
of
what
we're
getting
into
before
getting
into
this
film.
And
I
think
we're
all
very
comfortable
working
with
each
other.
So
let's
not
try
and
complicate
things
when
there
is
no
issue.
She's
someone
I'm
extremely
fond
of
and
I
respect
a
lot
and
most
importantly
we
know
each
other
too
well
for
any
of
this
to
affect
that
equation."
