Ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been in the news lately for his grand OTT debut series Heeramandi. The show explores the life of courtesans during a pivotal historical moment against the backdrop of Lahore's Heeramandi red-light district during the Indian independence movement. The show stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Richa Chadha and Sharmin Segal in pivotal roles.
In a recent interview, the ace director opened up about his friendship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Talking about their friendship, Sanjay said, "The only person that I'm still friendly with is Salman Khan. Even if Inshallah didn't happen, he stands by me. He'll call me; he'll care for me. ‘Are you okay? Is there anything? You've goofed up, you messed up’. I enjoy his humour so much. It comes once in three months, once in five months, but it comes because he doesn't care about my film. He cares about me.‘You, bro, you've not done so many films with me, it doesn't matter. Are you okay?’ And that is what it is all about.”
He further continued, “On work, we may have sparred, we may have not had our moment correct, and it didn’t fall into place. But after one month, he called me, and I called him, and we talked. So that is a friend. In that sense, I'm fortunate enough to have that friend who once in six months will speak and will exactly start from where we left.”
His project Inshallah was supposed to star Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles but the project was shelved in 2019. The director is now gearing up for the shooting of his next film Love & War, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in the crucial roles.
