No female lead has, as yet, been confirmed for the film. Priyanka Chopra is believed to be rumoured as favourite to play Bajirao's first wife. There was also news that Ranveer Singh had been finalised as the male lead. Deepika Padukone's name was also there as the missing piece in the triangular puzzle but now Kaif's name has come up, things seem to be hotting up again as to who will eventually land the role.
If the project does end up being bagged by Kaif, this could mean she is seen opposite Singh for the first time. Would they perhaps topple the Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela' (2013) chemistry that Singh and alleged other half Padukone wowed with on screen? It remains to be seen.
