A song of this scale and grandeur, I think it was the perfect opportunity for us to showcase the song here.” There is a lot of inspiration that comes from this city itself, whether it’s in terms of style and fashion, certain things from the film itself, as far as Mastani’s character is concerned. When asked about the reason for launching the song in Delhi, Deepika said, “There was no better place. The song was launched in Delhi on Saturday (October 17). She has eyes for no one else but this one man who is sitting in front of her.


It doesn’t matter to her where she is or who is watching her. But it’s also a Sanjay Leela Bhansali take on a contemporary version of the song where Mastani is completely besotted and madly in love with Bajirao. We have tried to recreate the Aina mahal. She said, “The song is inspired by ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ in a sense. The actress saw the song “Deewani Mastani” for the first time at the launch herself.
