Deepika posted a picture in her character alongside the filmmaker.
"Whether in love or war, Mastani was fuelled by her passion, unafraid to write her own destiny, no matter how perilous the path," the actress wrote in the caption.
She added: "She never bowed down and always stood her ground with a fierce dignity and a love so strong that its burning embers seared through every societal constraint, to join both her and her lover's names, for all of eternity… @ranveersingh @priyankachopra@bhansaliproductions #5YearsOfMastani #5YearsOfBajiraoMastani #BajiraoMastani"
The film also stars Deepika's husband Ranveer Singh as Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I and actress Priyanka Chopra as Bajirao's first wife Kashibai.
