Ranveer Singh, who will be next seen playing Maratha general Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical romance Bajirao Mastani has revealed that the role has changed him as a person. ''Bajirao was wise beyond his years. In the process of playing him, I have grown up. Experiences in the recent past have organically caused this growing up. I lost my oldest friend, my grandfather and had to come out of a serious injury,” he said. “ For certain scenes in the film, I had to tap into certain emotional areas. In a way, filming Bajirao Mastani has been a cathartic process. I had to go deep into the rabbit hole for the character and going through this emotional catharsis has made me a wiser and more evolved artist. It helped me learn a lot about myself as a person and as an artist.".
