Why Deepika Padukone’s background dancers couldn’t wear peach in Bajirao Mastani song
Cinematographer Bhansali is renowned for his mastery of color choices, as demonstrated in standout sequences such as the climactic jauhar scene in Padmaavat. Designers like Maxima Basu, who worked on both Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, emphasize the often-overlooked importance of background dancers in a film's overall aesthetic.
In Bajirao Mastani, Basu insisted the background dancers wear colors and styles that complement Deepika Padukone's striking ensemble, rather than compete with it. This attention to detail allows the audience's focus to remain on the star, while maintaining the cohesive visual narrative the filmmakers intended.
