The shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s historical epic Bajirao Mastani is happening on a war footing. All market perception that the ambitious epic won’t be able to make its release deadline (December 18), is being changed. Says a source close to the project, “SLB encountered something of a setback when lead actor Ranveer Singh injured his shoulder and was out of action for a month. We admit there was a slight doubt as to whether we can make it on time despite Ranveer’s injury. But now all doubts have been put to rest, as Bhansali sat down with the film’s producers Eros International.” Schedules have been reworked to ensure shooting goes smoothly till the release date. “There are some tough war scenes to be shot. Sanjay wants to give Ranveer’s shoulder time to heal before shooting them,” informs a source.
