Ajay Devgn speaks up about rejecting ��Bajirao Mastani�۪

There was much talk of Sanjay Leela Bhansali approaching Ajay Devgn for the character of Bajirao in his magnum opus, ��Bajirao Mastani�۪.�� However, the final casting saw Ranveer Singh step into that role.�� Devgn admits he was offered the role and says he refused it as they could not agree on terms and conditions.

���I was approached for the lead role but we couldn’t agree on the terms and conditions… dates, money everything��_ What is wrong about admitting that we couldn’t agree on the T&C? (terms and conditions) Let’s be honest about that,�۝ Devgn told DNA India.

It can be noted that ��Bajirao Mastani�۪ was originally written over a decade ago with Bhansali hoping to sign Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles.�� Due to a number of reasons, the film never took off despite many attempts from the filmmaker and many speculated changes in the cast.

��Bajirao Mastani�۪ now stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.�� The film will be releasing in the Christmas 2015 period.
