Representations in Other Media
- In 2010, ETV-Marathi, a leading Marathi entertainment channel, began a daily serial Shrimant Peshwa Baji Rao Mastani, produced by Nitin Chandrakant Desai Production. It was telecast Monday to Friday at 2100 hrs.
- A Bollywood Hindi movie, ''Bajirao Mastani'', about the romance between Baji Rao and Mastani, is being planned. The movie is to be directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and to star Rani Mukherjee as Kashibai, Kareena Kapoor as Mastani and Shahrukh Khan or Abhishek Bachchan as Baji Rao Peshwa. Hindus object to the project, as they feel that it will portray a questionable affair, rather than highlight Baji Rao's revival of Hindu society and values.
- A Marathi serial, Rau, was produced in the 1990s about the story of Baji Rao and It was based on the book of the same name by N. S. Inamdar.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
