The makers of the magnum opus '
Bajirao Mastani' are busy finalising the cast of the show, which will air on Sony Entertainment Television. They have roped in
Manish Wadhwa, who is currently seen in 'Nagarjuna — Ek Yoddha', to play Bajirao Peshwa’s father Balaji Vishwanath Peshwa. According to a website, Prachi Shah will play Manish’s wife. Also, Isha Koppikar will feature in a pivotal role in the show.
When contacted, Manish remained unavailable for comment.
The show is being co-produced by Sunjoy Wadhwa of Sphere Origins and Nilanjana Purkyasstha’s Invictus T Mediaworks.
It is to be noted that even &TV was planning an adaptation of the blockbuster 'Bajirao Mastani'. However, Sony Entertainment Television has pipped the rival channel to post, forcing them to apparently shelve their project.
