Popular Tamil lyricist Madhan Karky, who has penned dialogue for mega hits Baahubali and Enthiran (Robot), will be working on the Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone starrer in Tamil. "Bajirao Mastani has been a story I have been yearning to tell and I am glad that cine goers in the south regions will get to watch the film in their own language. This is a dream I have lived with for several years and I'm looking forward to audiences across markets living my dream with me," Bhansali was quoted as saying.
According to Nandu Ahuja, Senior Vice President, India Theatrical, Eros International Media Ltd, "Following the success of films in this genre in the south markets, we felt encouraged to dub Bajirao Mastani in Tamil and Telugu. A film of this epic scale and exceptional story telling demanded that we penetrate as wide as possible." Also starring Priyanka Chopra, the film is slated for a December 18, global release.
