The Finding Fanny actress told PTI, “It has been very difficult. It has been the toughest film of my career. I don’t like to talk about the effort one has put into, as eventually what is portrayed on screen matters. I worked very hard for this film. When we did ‘Ram Leela’ it was emotionally and physically draining film, but now…’Ram Leela’ feels easy and effortless in comparison to Bajirao Mastani”.

The Chennai Express star also revealed, “We shot for 10-14 hours, did horse riding, fight lessons, dance rehearsals, dialogue session. Sir (Bhansali) was involved every time”. She added, “We would be done by the end of this month. We have three weeks of work left. After that, it will be wrap up on Bajirao Mastani. The trailer will be out next month”.
