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:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
