People who dare to dream are the ones who grin like a Cheshire Cat when they are fulfilled. In Bollywood, it's deeply unfortunate success continues to get measured on the canvas of commerce, and posterity seems to be fading away. In 2015, a formidable filmmaker of Hindi Cinema finally translated on the celluloid what was his most ambitious and anticipated piece of work ever. The subject de jure is Bajirao Mastani, helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The period drama was supposed to be made all the way back in 2005, and the reclusive filmmaker even revealed the same in the first season of Koffee With Karan that he wanted to make the film with Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But destiny had other plans. It was destined to be made with Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra. And the dream was always destined to be transformed into a reality.
