Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra in a still from the song Pinga.
New Delhi:
Just in case you missed it, the hotly-anticipated
Bajirao Mastani dance number featuring Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra was released over the weekend.
Remember
Dola Re with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit from
Devdas? Replace the actresses, swap the Bengali red and white
saris for heavily embellished ones in jewel tones, change the setting from a
zamindar's mansion to a Peshwa's palace and you have
Pinga, which is basically
Dola Re 2.0.
Why change a winning formula, right?
Deepika stars as the Mastani of the title, the second wife of Maratha leader Peshwa Baji Rao I, played by Ranveer Singh. Priyanka Chopra appears as the Peshwa's first wife Kashibai.
Bajirao Mastani, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali who also serves as composer, releases on December 18. (Also Read -
