Mumbai, May 14
Actress Deepika Padukone, who is
working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Bajirao Mastani" after being
directed by him in "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela", says they share a
"beautiful" actor-director relationship based on trust.
"I think
we have a beautiful actor-director relationship as he doesn't need to
talk to me too much, doesn't need to direct me too much... it's been one
of the most beautiful relationships that's based on trust. I consider
myself fortunate and lucky that I got to work with him in two films,"
Deepika, who is receiving rave reviews for "Piku", told IANS.
"After
'...Ram-Leela', the kind of hard work he had put into it, I didn't
think he was ready to start his next film, but exactly in a year's time,
he was ready with 'Bajirao Mastani' and he cast me as Mastani in it,"
she said.
"Bajirao Mastani" also features Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra, and Deepika says it's the biggest project of the filmmaker.
"It's
the biggest film of his (Bhansali's) career. It's the script that he
has lived with for 10 years. Everything that he has learnt, he has put
into this film. I feel fortunate to be part of this film and be a lead,"
Deepika told IANS.
"Bajirao Mastani" narrates the story of
Maratha Peshwa Bajirao and his second wife Mastani. Deepika will be seen
playing Mastani.
She says she shares a "beautiful
actor-director" relationship with Bhansali, who is known for films like
"Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam", "Devdas" and "Black".
