Throughout these ten years, media speculation continued about the production and casting of Bajirao Mastani. Several actors were rumored to be linked to the project including Shahrukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan,Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Katrina Kaif.

Sheth will also train Padukone in the dance style of Kathak. Singh will be required to learn Marathi, learn horseback riding, and shave his head for the role. In addition, the role of Bajirao will require Singh to gain weight in order to lose his physique. In preparation for her role of Kashibai, Priyanka Chopra took a 15-day coaching course and she will also undergoing language training in a dialect of Marathi spoken during the time of the ascension of the Peshwas.^[
