We
came
to
know
that,
the
legend,
Birju
Maharaj
was
training
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
period
romance,
Bajirao
Mastani.
Birju
Maharaj
said,
"I
told
Deepika
to
think
of
Ranveer,
who
is
her
on
screen
lover,
as
her
Kishore
and
like
Madhubala
had
danced
to
his
tunes
in
Jhumroo,
she
should
dance
the
same
way
for
her
Bajirao." as
Mumbai
Mirror
reported.
But
her
performance
also
required
a
range
of
emotions,
as
she
had
to
portray
the
role
of
a
warrior
and
a
lover
at
the
same
time
and
for
that
she
needed
a
role
model
to
focus
on.
Later,
Birju
Maharaj
also
appreciated
Deepika
and
said,
"Deepika
aced
it.
The
song
looks
like
a
Raja
Ravi
Varma
painting
brought
to
life.
She's
tall
and
beautiful,
I
will
choreograph
her
in
any
song
if
she
wants
me
to.
She
takes
my
scolding
in
the
right
spirit."
Interestingly,
Deepika
took
two
months
to
master
the
iconic
peacock
movements,
which
are
distinctive
to
the
Indian
classical
dance
form.
It's
a
pity
that
film
is
releasing
at
the
end
of
the
year
because
it's
really
difficult
to
wait
that
long
to
see
Deepika
in
her
never-seen-before
avatar!
