Actor Rajniesh Duggall has been cast as Bajirao in a musical play version of Bajirao Mastani. He trained under Pandit Birju Maharaj for the role.
Speaking about the experience Duggall said, “I am extremely glad to have been trained under the guidance of Pandit Birju Maharajji for the musical. This is something I have never done before. I have also learnt the dance form ‘chhao’ for the musical, which was an experience in itself.”
Rajniesh Duggall further adds that while their plan initially was to take the Bajirao Mastani inspired musical play to different cities and countries, they might take the online route now. “Talks are still on,” he added.
