The highly-anticipated historical epic by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bajirao Mastani, will be releasing on 18th December 2015. The film is set in the period of Mughal history, and showcases the Peshwas and Marathas in 16th century India. The magnum opus stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
For those who are eagerly anticipating the release of the film are in for a surprise. They will not have to wait too long as the animated series, Blazing Bajirao, will be launched in September on ErosNow.
Blazing Bajirao is designed to help audiences familiarise themselves with the characters, their histories and histrionics. Conceptualised by the in-house creative team at ErosNow, the series encapsulates the lives of the three main protagonists – Bajirao, his first wife Kashibai and his second wife Mastani.
Vaibhav Vishal, Chief Creative Officer at ErosNow, speaks about the inspiration behind Blazing Bajirao. “The majority of our audiences know the more common heroes and love stories that have been the backdrop of India’s history, but there is a period in Mughal history that has never really been picked up on – that of the Peshwas and Marathas in the 16th Century. Bajirao was in fact an inspirational and uber-cool leader, remaining undefeated in all 41 battles that he led, and said to have fought for the establishment of the Hindu Empire.”
