emotionally exhausting for PeeCee

Actress Priyanka Chopra calls Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Bajirao Mastani’ her career's most difficult film ever, saying it has exhausted her emotionally. The ambitious period romance also stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.

"For me the film is a poetry in motion. That movie is poetic. It is beautiful. Usually characters do not affect me but this film has emotionally exhausted me," the 32-year-old actress said. "I am mentally affected... As a character it is something I haven't experienced. There is so much emotional turmoil. It is the most difficult film I have done," she said.

The national award-winning actress plays Kashibai, the first wife of Baji Rao (Ranveer), while Deepika will be seen in the role of Mastani, his second wife. Before ‘Bajirao’ hits theatre, Priyanka will be seen playing sister to Ranveer in their upcoming film ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, which releases on June 5.

When asked if the sibling relationship affected their romantic side in ‘Bajirao’, Priyanka said, "In 'Gunday' he (Ranveer) was my boyfriend. Sanjeev ji and Jaya ji, Aishwarya and Shah Rukh have played such characters where they played partners and then brother and sister. Now it is us. We are actors and our job is to act. We hope people like us," the ‘Mary Kom’ star said.
