Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone starrer Bajirao Mastani’s THIS song features in Marvel’s What if…? Season 3; netizens call it ‘perfect’

As a dedicated follower of Indian cinema and a passionate fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s work, I am absolutely thrilled to see Bajirao Mastani’s iconic track Malhari making its way into Marvel’s animated series What if…? Season 3. This crossover between two completely different universes is a testament to the universal appeal of Indian cinema and the power of music to transcend boundaries.

In 2015, the soundtrack from Bajirao Mastani, starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, became very well-known. Now, one of its songs has been used in Marvel’s animated series What if…? Season 3. The track Malhari was remade for an episode, and viewers on the internet were thrilled about it. They described it as ‘spot-on perfect.’

In the second episode of Season 3, titled “What If… Agatha Went to Hollywood?”, we see the arrival of Malhari. The character, Kingo, portrayed by Kumail Nanjiani, is a superhero with a Bollywood acting background. During this episode, Kingo dances along with other performers to an upbeat tune, replicating the dance moves previously executed by Ranveer Singh in the song.

Through a post on their Instagram Stories, Bhansali Productions, creators of Bajirao Mastani, expressed their pride as they saw the thrilling essence of Malhari making an impact in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (with a heart emoji).

Have a look at the story!

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my enthusiasm over the latest episode! On the platform once known as Twitter, one user exclaimed, “This was a pure gasp of excitement! Agatha and Kingo together were simply sensational, and their dance routine was nothing short of spectacular – it made my heart sing! To see Kingo break into a Malhari parody within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is just mind-blowing. It’s like the best thing the world has ever seen!

In another Instagram post, a user commented, “If you missed the episode, it was spot-on perfection.” A different comment expressed excitement with, “Wow!!!!! Incredible,” while another simply stated, “Victory!” Numerous other users responded with heart and fire emojis.

The song “Malhari” from the film Bajirao Mastani was created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, performed by Vishal Dadlani, and penned by Prashant Ingole. This movie is a grand historical drama depicting a heart-wrenching love story. Apart from Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, the cast includes Priyanka Chopra, Tanvi Azmi, and others. Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed this film which hit theaters on December 18, 2015.

Currently, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is working on a new grand production titled “Love & War.” This film will feature Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in prominent roles. The release date for “Love & War” is set for March 20, 2026, when it will be shown in cinemas.
