'Happy New Year' Deepika Padukone is all set ready to learn sword-fighting and horse riding for his forthcoming movie with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dream project 'Bajirao Mastani'. Deepika said she need to work hard to learn several things and it is going to be a big challenge for her to essays the role of his lover, Mastani. Deepika has not started training for sword-fighting and horse riding so far, as she was quite busy with her other movies Tamasha and Piku.

Deepika Padukone will join along with her long time boyfriend Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra for her next project Bajirao Mastani, where the ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all for his dream venture. Deepika also learn other languages like Tamil and Marathi for her roles in Chennai Express (2013) and Happy New Year (2014) respectively. She is eager to learn sword-fighting and horse-riding for the 18th century film.

Deepika said she is going to work hard for her role, as i have never done a role that requires any of this, She added horse-riding is going to be more fun than sword-fighting, but it will be more stressful as I know that the training could be done simultaneously with the shooting of the film. Deepika has been shooting around 12 to 15 hours a day, and the preparation will be done alongside.
