Controversy breaks out
In an interview with a leading media publication, he said, " particular dialogue in movie — ‘whenever Peshwa returns from battleground, he brings one Mastani’ — is in bad taste and highly objectionable. way it has been used, presents a bad picture of t only Mastani Sahiba but also of Peshwa to our audience and to young minds unaware of Maratha history. Mastani Bai was bona fide wife of Peshwa Baji Rao and t just ar woman".
