The team wanted people to know about effort that goes into creating these grand sets
Mumbai: 'Dewaani Mastani' from 'Bajirao Mastani' is the grandest thing in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed movie and is inspired by 'Mughal-e-Azam' and its famous song 'Jab pyar kiya toh darna kya'. The set which was created with Lahore's Sheesh Mahal as inspiration, has had the maximum number of visitors at Filmcity in Mumbai.
A lot of hard work went into creating the set and when the team completed shooting for the song, they didn't have a heart to dismantle it. They decided to let visitors come and see what goes into creating these kind of masterpieces.
The number sees Mastani (Deepika) dancing in abandon for Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) as his first wife Kashi Bai (Priyanka) looks at them. It is a tribute to K Asif's grand picturisation of "Jab pyar kiya toh darna kya", a tense moment in the classic, where Anarkali finally challenges Mughal emperor Akbar by openly declaring her love for his son Salim. At the song launch last month, Deepika said, "The song is inspired by 'Mughal-e-Azam'. We have tried to recreate the Aaina Mahal (mirror palace). But it is also Bhansali's contemporary take or version of a song, where Mastani is completely besotted by Bajirao and is madly in love with him."
