Deepika Padukone finds ‘Ram Leela’ effortless compared to ‘Bajirao Mastani’

She is one actress who has made all the right moves to get the top, and it seems Deepika Padukone is doing everything in her power to stay there. Prepared to take on new challenges, the actress has recently revealed that working on her forthcoming film ‘Bajirao Mastani’ has been her most challenging role yet.

Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Padukone will be seen playing a warrior. Talking to the media about the film, India Today reported the actress expressing, “It has been very difficult. It has been the toughest film of my career. I don’t like to talk about the effort one has put into, as eventually what is portrayed on screen matters.”

She even went onto express how her role in ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ (2013) seems like a walk in the park compared to this film. “I worked very hard for this film. When we did Ram Leela it was emotionally and physically draining film, but now? ‘Ram Leela’ feels easy and effortless in comparison to ‘Bajirao Mastani’, she added.

Based on a true story, Padukone is gaining a lot of inspiration from playing the role of Peshwa Bajirao’s second wife, Mastani. Talking about her character, the actress went into add, “It was very inspiring (role). I wish she was alive today, I wish I could meet her, see her, interact with her. I will be meeting her family soon. It was not about her beauty, strength, being a lover or nurturer and warrior. I think all women have these qualities in them.”

Also starring Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra, ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is set to hit the big screens on 18th December.
