The one called Nana Saheb I, a name full of power and history, is very important in the story of the Maratha group. He was the 8th Peshwa, and he got into a difficult political situation, like the main people in the movie "Bajirao Mastani" who had to deal with tricky friendships. He was born in 1708, and his time as leader started in 1740. He worked to make things stronger and grow the group, like in many history books. He had problems like those in the "Panipat" movie, and he needed to be very smart to stay in charge and keep the Maratha lands safe. Nana Saheb I knew that talking nicely with others was important, and his helpers thought this was a good skill. As the historian James Grant Duff said, "He knew a lot about how money and taxes worked." His leadership, even though some people argue about it, was very important for keeping the Maratha group strong during a hard time. What he did helped set the stage for future growth, even if things didn't end up exactly as he planned. His story, about power, smart plans, and the hard parts of being a leader, still makes people interested in the Maratha time and how it changed the area. He died in 1761, which was the end of an important time. Historians still study his story, like they are trying to understand the plot of a complicated history movie.
