It’s tiring to be on Bhansali’s set: Ranbir on ‘Love & War’
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to bring out the best in his actors. But, working with the ace director can also be a daunting task, as Ranbir Kapoor recently revealed in an interview. The actor, who is currently working with Bhansali on his upcoming film ‘Love & War’, shared his experience of being on the director’s set, saying that it can be “tiring” but ultimately satisfying.
In an interview with News18, Ranbir talked about the challenges of working with Bhansali, saying, “The process can be a little daunting, but eventually…as an artist, it’s so satisfying.” He also praised the director’s dedication and understanding of characters and emotions, saying, “I haven’t met…human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions…as much as [him].”
Ranbir’s comments come as no surprise, given the reputation that Bhansali has built over the years. The director is known for his intense preparation and his ability to push his actors to give their best performances. He is also known for his perfectionism, which can sometimes lead to long and grueling shooting schedules.
But, despite the challenges, Ranbir seems to be enjoying the experience of working with Bhansali. In the interview, he talked about the director’s ability to bring out the best in him, saying, “He’s like a coach, he’s like a mentor. He knows exactly what he wants, and he gets it. And that’s the best feeling as an actor.”
Ranbir has previously worked with Bhansali on the 2013 film ‘Ram-Leela’, which was a critical and commercial success. The film was a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, set in Gujarat. Ranbir played the role of Ram, a young man from a royal family, while Deepika Padukone played the role of Leela, a young woman from a rival family.
The film was praised for its stunning visuals, memorable performances, and its innovative take on the classic Shakespearean tale. It was also a commercial success, grossing over Rs 200 crore at the box office.
Ranbir and Bhansali are now reuniting for ‘Love & War’, a film that promises to be just as visually stunning and emotionally powerful as ‘Ram-Leela’. The film is a romantic drama that explores the complexities of love and relationships in modern times.
In the interview, Ranbir talked about the film’s theme, saying, “Love & War is a film that talks about the complexities of love and relationships. It’s about the struggles that people face in their personal and professional lives, and how they overcome those struggles.”
He also praised Bhansali’s vision for the film, saying, “Sanjay’s vision is always huge. He’s got a very clear idea of what he wants to do, and he’s not afraid to take risks. And that’s what makes his films so special.”
Ranbir’s comments are a testament to the respect and admiration that he has for Bhansali as a director. Working with the director can be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to learn and grow as an actor.
In conclusion, Ranbir’s comments on working with Bhansali demonstrate the challenges and rewards of being on the director’s set. While it can be “tiring” to work with Bhansali, the end result is always worth it, as demonstrated by the success of films like ‘Ram-Leela’ and the upcoming ‘Love & War’.
