In an interview with leading entertainment portal Pinkvilla, Ranveer Singh talks about Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bajirao Mastani, Budget, Preparation for the film. Excerpts from the interview.

"Bajirao Mastani' is a once in a lifetime film. For me, it's a role of a lifetime. The layers- he is a warrior, a statesman, a leader who falls from grace before his people, he is a diligent son, he is a responsible husband and he is a passionate lover, and he is good father. There's much to explore here, and he is a person who actually lived and these are true stories from his life. So it's a big responsibility. In the Maharashtrian community he is looked up to. I take this responsibility quite seriously. I understand the opportunity that is presented to me. It's a very big deal for me to play this role. It would be for any actor at any stage of his career. And I am getting to do this in my fourth year! It can be a career defining part.

Mr. Bhansali didn't interfere in the prep. He had given me the tools to prepare and was completely hands off! I mean such a big film, its almost a 120 crore film! He didn't see what the lead actor was working on and presenting. On the first day of shoot, I came on set and performed a scene. That was when, for the first time, he saw what Bajirao would feel like and sound like. These are his mannerisms and this is his energy and we have that amount of trust" said Ranveer Singh
