New Delhi: Actor Raza Murad, who has previously played the role of the Nizam in filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus "Bajirao Mastani", will now be seen essaying the character of Aurangzeb in the upcoming TV show "Peshwa Bajirao".

Talking about his role in the Sony Entertainment Television channel's show, Raza said: "Well as in 'Peshwa Bajirao', Aurangzeb has mellowed down with repeated battle defeats and old age is also catching up with him. He is at the far end of his era as a ruler and is just a pale shadow of his past."
