New Delhi: Sanjay Leela Bhansali The film ‘Saawariya’ is based on Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short story ‘White Nights’. It is said that Sanjay had tried to honor Raj Sahab 15 years ago through Ranbir, the grandson of veteran actor and filmmaker like Raj Kapoor. Sanjay Leela Bhansali made Ranbir Kapoor’s entry into the industry with the film ‘Saawariya’ released on 9 November 2007. Earlier, Ranbir had assisted Sanjay in the film ‘Black’. At the same time, Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Anil Kapoor, also stepped into Bollywood. Apart from Ranbir-Sonam, the film also featured veteran actresses like Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji and Zohra Sehgal. On the completion of 15 years of ‘Saawariya’, let us tell you some interesting things related to the film.
It may have been 15 years since ‘Saawariya’ was released, but in his very first film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had made him work so hard which the actor will probably never forget. There is a song in the film ‘Jab Se Tere Naina’, there is a scene of towel falling in it, which was very much discussed after 15 years of the film’s release, for this Sanjay had got Ranbir not one but 100 takes, then going somewhere. The shot was ok.
Ranbir Kapoor-Sonam Kapoor’s first film is ‘Saawariya’.
There was pain in Ranbir’s back
Everyone knows that Sanjay Leela Bhansali makes actor-actress work hard for perfection in every scene in his films. Ranbir himself had told in an interview to the media that ‘In the film’s towel song, I had to sit back on the chair and then drop the towel down, so that my legs could be seen. Every beat of the music had to be caught, he said that you will fall on this beat, you will raise your head on this, you will laugh at this, everything is musical. I gave about 45 takes in a day and my back was broken, the next day when I came on the set, I said that I do not like the scene and then I had to give 70 more takes’. Let us tell you that when the film was released, this towel scene became in discussion.
‘Saawariya’ failed to do well at the box office
Although Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romance-filled film ‘Saawariya’ could not show anything amazing at the box office, all the tricks to make the film a hit had failed. Sanjay is known for his grandeur in his films. It is said that in this film, Sanjay’s sets were overshadowed by the character and story and despite putting all the film masala, Sanjay Leela is one of Bhansali’s weakest films.
