Sanjay Leela Bhansali shares update on Sahir Ludhianvi biopic and Inshallah
Sanjay Leela Bhansali once shared that he has 6 dream projects. Now that 3 of them, i.e., Black, Bajirao Mastani, and Heeramandi, are made, Pinkvilla asked him about the update of the next ones, i.e., Sahir Ludhianvi biopic and Inshallah.
A candid SLB replied that most of the time, he takes spontaneous decisions regarding his projects and picks the one that comes 'deep from within'. "Now, as the 4th, 5th, and 6th unfold, you'll get to know, right now, I can't speak. I really don't know what I'll make, when I'll make it, it's a very spontaneous decision. I'll be making Gangubai and suddenly I put the script down and say 'Ram Leela'. So I'll be suddenly making Inshallah, and I'll say 'No, Gangubai (Kathiawadi).' So I feel it's about the inner calling of the filmmaker, the inner calling that comes from deep down that 'ye banao,'" he said.
SLB further added that once he gets his inner calling, he gets fully committed to the project and is totally into it, as if his survival depends on it. "Then I am full on onto the project, then I am into the film, and I am making it like it's me, my soul has to survive, us kisam ki commitment! It's with everything, so I can't make a film with because it sounds good on the paper or it's a good cast, it has to come from deep within to want to make the film, so what I'll make (I don't know)," he added.
