Speculation seems to have come to some kind of standstill as far as Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani goes. It is being suggested by insiders that Ajay Devgn has beaten Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and  Ranveer Singh. 

 One hears that the epic, where Ajay plays a Maratha warrior, will roll sometime at the end of this year with a marathon 60-day schedule. Of course, the suspense as to whether Deepika Padukone will play Mastani or not continues.

Both, the actor and the filmmaker, didn’t revert to our text messages.
