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.

“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
