Bajirao, the Peshwa of Maratha emperor, Chhatrapati Shahu Raje Bhonsle, was born on August 18, 1700, and remains one of the greatest warriors in Indian history, responsible for the widespread expansion of the Maratha Empire.

And the actor isn’t the only one paying respect to the great man, who has the unique accomplishment of never losing a single battle.

To mark the occasion of the 315th birth anniversary of Peshwa Bajirao, Eros International and Bhansali Productions released a magnificent visual of Ranveer as Peshwa Bajirao from Bajirao Mastani.

The movie is set to release on December 18, 2015.
