       THEME,LOOK AND STYLE OF BAJIRAO MASTANI

                          We started the research twelve years back, we came to know that the film is not happening, but later when we came to know that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is making the film, we had to go and approach him, he asked us to show some of our work and he was happy with us. The pre production work to the day we wrapped, it was almost 19 months. We had 19 art assistant directors working, including us the team consists of architects, designers, artist for sketching, props and we had a very good system in place.
 We have succeeded as the production designer as the film looks one. Certain tone was set for the entire film, we used raw fabrics, malmal, Velvet jute, cotton, we customized colour, all the props were made by us. Handmade textures & motifs were used for walls.
 
         Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to treat his audiences to extravagant and colourful sets, luxurious costumes and melodious songs, and the producer/director's magnum opus "Bajrao Mastani" is no different.

Over 20,000 intricately designed mirrors have been used to put the set together. Special karigars from jaipur were summoned to work on the embedding of the mirrors to maintain authenticity. The massive set measures 12,500 sq feet. What’s even more awe inspiring is that one angle of the frame reflects in the 20,000 mirrors.


The grand magnificent set which was built for the ‘Deewani Mastani‘ track from ‘Bajirao Mastani‘ is the grandest thing for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The track seems inspired by ‘Mughal-E-Azam‘ and its classic song ‘Jab Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya‘.
