Bajirao, Mastani now in gaming avatar

The title characters of the forthcoming film "Bajirao Mastani", played by Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, will now be seen in a new gaming avatar.

To be launched on Thursday, "Bajirao Mastani" will now be available in the form of a game titled 'Blazing Bajirao The Game' on entertainment portal erosnow.com.

The interactive game invites players to a thrilling adventure as they fight as Peshwa Bajirao, the noted Maratha general. As players progress through the game, they must battle hordes of enemy infantry and archers in search of Mastani, roaring 'Har Har Mahadev'.

"ErosNow has been pushing boundaries with unique digital initiatives for the promotion of 'Bajirao Mastani'. After the success of India's first graphic web series, 'Blazing Bajirao' was a natural progression to take digital promotions to the next level.

"The game is of stellar quality and gamers can now become Peshwa Bajirao, the great warrior themselves and experience the exhilaration of battle victory using swords, bows and arrows," CEO of Eros Digital Rishika Lulla Singh said in a statement.

The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directorial, which has been co-produced by Eros International and Bhansali Productions, also features Priyanka Chopra. It will release on December 18.
