First Look: Deepika, Priyanka and Ranveer in Bajirao Mastani

A storm is coming, promised actor Ranveer Singh on Twitter. His Game of Thrones-esque pronouncement refers to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period piece Bajirao Mastani, the first glimpses of which have been released.

Stills released on Twitter by producers Eros show Ranveer and actresses Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra as their characters in the film.

For months, director Bhansali has made Ranveer keep his look for the film literally under his hat – here he is now as Maratha Peshwa Bajirao:

The trailer of the film will release online and also screen in theatres with Salman Khan’s new film Bajrangi Bhaijaan this Friday onwards.

Bajirao Mastani will release on December 18 – the same day as Shah Rukh Khan’s next film Dilwale, directed by Rohit Shetty and co-starring Kajol.
