'Sanjay looks at things in a certain way'

Tough Act

Actress Deepika Padukone terms her latest movie Ram Leela as a very tough film, saying that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is such a perfectionist that he doesn’t settle for anything less that what he has in mind.

“It has not been easy working in this film. The movie has been mentally, physically and emotionally demanding,” says the actress, who spent over a year on the project.

“The fact is he is a perfectionist and he doesn’t let go of anything. He looks at things in a certain way and it has to be more or less that way. He has a vision and everyone works towards that. So, it obviously has been a very tough journey, as exciting and challenging as it was, it has also been quite tough. So to see all of that come together, I did get a little emotional,” she adds.

Bhansali, who is known for hit films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas, has failed to appeal to the audiences with his last few movies like Saawariya and Guzaarish. And this time the director-producer has come up with Ram Leela with Deepika and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles.

Set in a rustic region of Gujarat, Ram Leela also stars Richa Chaddha, Gulshan Devaiah and Supriya Pathak. The movie will hit theatres on November 29.
