Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone begin work on 'Bajirao Mastani' dance sequence

Mumbai: It’s back to the grind for Priyanka Chopra, who has been working up a sweat on the sets of ‘Bajirao Mastani’. The actress, who will be playing one of the leading roles in the film was on the sets again to shoot for a dance sequence for the film.

Priyanka had taken time off the project to head to Los Angeles, where she bagged a role in an international television series. On her return, she was out on several occasions promoting her upcoming family drama ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’.

Miss Chopra took to her social networking handles to post a picture of herself taking a power nap during her dance practice session with famed choreographer Shampa Sonthalia. The two ladies, dressed in work out gear were photographed taking a power nap in between rehearsals.

Deepika Padukone will soon join the ladies for their practice session. It was reported that Deepika and Priyanka will engage in a larger-than-life lavani dance number, that will have the two leading ladies sweat it out to win over Ranveer Singh’s heart. According to reports, the song will be shot in Mumbai over a period of more than 10 days with Remo D’souza planning the moves for the leggy ladies.

Rumour also has it that this dance sequence will put ‘Dola Re Dola‘ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Devdas’ to shame.

Deepika and Priyanka, who are good friends off set, Tweeted some hilarious and encouraging messages online.
