Sanjay Leela Bhansali Interview with Anupama Chopra | FC Unfiltered 

"I might be very middle-class in my upbringing , but when I make a film I make it like a king"❤️

SLB is the best director hindi cinema has at this point. Guzharish is one of the best movie made by him, u can feel the pain of the character in it. Waiting for Bajirao Mastani an era which we always dreamt and now it would be alive on the canvas of SLB.... All the best to the entire team..

I love Sanjay leela bhansali for his uniqueness. His films are hindi cinema in all its glory. The dance, the canvas, loud expressions done really well. He is a complete Indian filmmaker inspired by Indian cinema.

I was so happy seeing Saraswatichandra poster right behind him! I was a hugeeee fan of that show and I was very disappointed he pretty much gave up on the show after a few months because Saras & kumud were a beautiful couple. Anyway, great interview. Love SLB movies.

I loved what he said about Ranveer Singh. . He is an extraordinary actor .

Deepika Padukone , Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. best team 👍👍👍👍👍

I am a proud Rajput...and I absolutely love Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This man is a genius of modern film art. The way he brings his dreamy vision onto a film...it is unparalleled. He has become a victim of too much false rumor mongering by politically motivated groups. India probably doesn't even deserve someone as ahead of his time.

Finally... The man behind the grandeur and the magnificent bajirao mastani ❤

These days I spend hours watching various videos of film companion, one of the few places from where one can actually get an idea of how films are made. After every video I not only get inspired by the person being interviewed but also by Anupama. You are amazing and truly dedicated. Thank you for this channel😀. You have made me your fan ma'am. SLB is a director of his own kind as: 1)The scenes of his films make you awestruck by their grandeur and at the same time take ur heart on a roller coaster of emotions. 2)No one in bollywood can depict emotional frustration in the way he does. This video made us know the cause behind both these genius features of his films. Thank you.

His passion for movies reminds me of the great Malayalam director Bharathan.

Every frame in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film are like painting , Amazing costumers , Superb song & excellent choreography , Fabulous Dialogue's , brilliant Drama , Top performance from all leading star's & supporting starcast ( A Perfect & fabulous Filmmaker ) No one can be Like SLB 👏👏 Awesome interview guys :-)

i just realised i am just like SLB. the way he was neglected in his childhood by his cousins because they thought he was ugly, the way he tends to absorb every situation and finds it difficult to let go of ugly things that happened in his life. i am just like him. i am devastated from the inside. i have a lot of fire and angst inside me.

12:30- Watching him laugh melts my heart 💖😊He is 1 of my most favorite directors

Brilliant director ! Bajirao - a masterpiece !

this man is so inspirational , I can listen him hours and hours . the way he link and give references of things . amazing .

The person behind my love for movies. SLB is a rockstar.

Khamoshi wil always remain my fav SLB movie !! Well...Those questions really gave the answers we always wanted to know ! Thanks Anupama :-)

He is a good man. First time we hear him talk so personally, and it is very nice to hear. I wish him much success and hapiness. And I am so happy he found his strength and became stronger and wiser. BajiRao seems like the Best movie of the year to be honest. It shows effort, such fine detailing, engaging script, and stunning performances throughout. Well Done SLB.

Watching this brilliant interview in anticipation of Padmavati. What a fascinating artist and thank you Anupama for shedding light on his...errrr..."light" side. I hope you will have another opportunity to interview him prior to or post-Padmavati release. My one request is that you also interview the director alongside his muse, Deepika :)

"When I make a film, I make it like a King" - I love it

i love you SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI....wht a visionary...

I can't believe Khamoshi flopped.. I had absolutely loved it..

So much depth here . I actually really loved Saawariya 😉 Amazing director! 💟

This is an amazing interview. SLB is so honest and relatable and it's so great to see him like this. Great job Ms. Chopra! It is so nice to see what motivates his brilliance is experiences many of us have had ourselves!

The depth in his voice, in his eyes show why his films are so deep yet grand!!

Devdas-all time master piece

Thank you for providing us with such a great actor as Ranveer Singh. I love your movies with Ranver and Deepika in particular

I can't get enough of him praisinig...last 3 blockbusters he have made are benchmarks for every other directors... 16:23-16:40 his words for MEENA KUMARI again took my heart... indeed she was the goddess of silverscreen...

I love SLB. His movies are magical. Such an inspiring filmmaker. it's amazing to see him acknowledge and carry forward the legacy of classics and literature. Bajirao Mastani,Black,Khamoshi,Devdas were fantastic. i hope film companion does a beneath the surface with him :))

Amazinnnnnnnnngggg directorrrrr😘😘😘 I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ his direction🙂

And I like the fact that you guys are not looking at camera during this interview.

This is such a lovely interview- it's a privilege to understand Bhansali's mind and how it creates these fabulous masterpieces.

Great Sanjay Sir your Padmaavat is a masterpiece.salute to you sir. Keep all the negativity away .

Thank you for still making movies which showcase Indian culture as it was in the past - and in your music too!!

16:25 his admiration for meena kumariji....a big fan of meenaji...❤❤❤

legend... respect this director and his visual vision...

SO GOOD TO SEE MR BANSALI'S INTERVIEW. I AGREE HE MAKES GRAND MOVIE. I LOVED ALL HIS MOVIES & ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEE HIS HUGE MOVIES. WATCHED PADMAVAAT WHICH IS OUTSTANDING MOVIE JUST LIKE BAJIRAO MASTANI. GOD BLESS MR BANSALI .

It is a beautiful interview. Learnt so much, here is one passionate director talking about his art

Lucky to b Indian n proud of being mumbaikar. Hats off to this most intelligent yet humble Person.A man with visions

i have always loved slb's films. one can find pure "indianness" in his cinema. he is my favorite director, and it gives me more joy that he makes his films the way he pleases, and inspired by our own classics. always have and always will love his cinema.

Waiting for your next movie with Ranveer .. Do not be late for us❤❤❤❤

amazing interview.. i love sanjay and anupama

I agree SLB absorbs a lot, and he is extremely good at expressing it all through his music. I have no reason whatsoever to be emotional or to cry, but whenever I try to sing "... tum to gaye par yaad naa gayee ..." or "... ye jo baarish hai, dekho na..", dunno why do I cry somewhere deep within.

This was a great interview, the man behind the genius, Thank Anupama for giving us movie buffs intelligent and insightful interviews. SLB I hope you continue making movies, you are magic

One man show! Living legend...slb!

so well spoken! love slb

King Ranveer singh always for you

I will always root for you! You're a visionary! Keep making films

i love this man and his work, he is just amaizing❤❤ thanks anupama ❤❤

He is amazing...SLB the best, director, composer,producer 😍

Ranveer is a prolific actor says this genius..!

Sir my respect to you.. Keep amaze us with your wonderful movies. Definitely watching #BajiraoMastani on 18th :)

I have been a fan of SLB for many years now. Black is one of my all time fav. movies! His cinematography is pure art! I would definitely say that his work is one of the reasons why I want to become a filmmaker myself. I general I would say that Bollywood influenced me a lot! and thank you Anupama for this amazing Film-Chanel! I love the work you do and the way you interview people! We really get to know the people behind their amazing work! You are a true Film- Lover ♥ Greetings from Germany, Melisa

Lajavab director,all films like masterpiece,and full of depth

Your responses to the outer world.... What you have received from the outer world....remains...... 👌👌👌👌👌👌

got a great chance to know about the thought process and instincts of SLB

I would never, ever, imagine that he had so much pain inside that he wanted to share with the world through his films. I've known indian cinema for a few years and I always had some issues with Bhansali's movies, thinking that he prioritized aesthetics over story. I still think he did it in some movies, but now that I know that every piece of his soul was in each scene, maybe I'll look at them differently. Great interview, Anupama. What I'm enjoying the most about this channel is that you can interview people without a time-limit, so the artists end up revealing more than the basic.

Amazing interview. Can't wait to watch Bajirao Mastani (Magnum opus)on silver screen

loved the interview SLB is a cut and above loved the depth of the interview Babienne Rajkumar Malaysia

guzaarish was so underrated. I absolutely loved dat movie too.. if he usually keeps d movies at pace they ll do really well. devdas din work cos it was too slow.

Thanks for this wonderful interview, Anupama. You've given us a rare, beautiful insight into the mind of a reclusive genius. Was amused to learn about his process-- especially the fact that he doesn't resort to a storyboard. Couldn't help but notice the similarities between SLB and Anurag Kashyap's flops (Saawariyan and Bombay Velvet)-- the nature of the failures and how they responded to it. Both felt that the attacks got personal and vicious on seeing top-notch, successful directors experience a colossal failure. Both also left the country (if I'm not wrong Paris is a common factor too?) for a bit, took refuge in art away from home and came back with a rejuvenated mind.

Ms. Chopra cannot imagine a person has layers in his personality- she talks down to him and is disbelieving of his complexity almost as if her opinion of him is what he is as a personality. Wish she understood human nature better...being a film critic and all.

Wonderful movie bajirao mastani. Sanjay bhansali has proved it right from khamoshi movie.

I love how easily he can laugh

he himself is an award

I loved Sawariya!A master piece!

Amazing interview!! Inspirational words...

Sanjay sir... your cinema is exactly the same what I like to watch.. I am sure that some day I will get a chance to meet you and touch your feet :)

I'm 5 years too late, but he is one of the very few directors in indian cinema who shows the true essence of india and its people and culture. Head off to him, but he should be making more movies

gosh...y the weird giggle all the time...and with no apparent reason.i find her funny and also y is he wearing kajal. ..everything serious deep talk and u see a man wearing kajal make you wonder if it's all an act.every said and done. .I still think he's a genius

Anupama , you are so amazingly beautiful !!

Great Sir

i am biggest fan of his film

If I were an actor I could have gone to any extent to be a Sanjay Leela actor..

its great to see that he creates what he likes but i miss the factors gave face to his creative vision such as Madhuri dixit, saroj khan, Aishwariya rai and Shahrukh khan. I wish his movies could again find the right factors to give it that beauty which he says Meena kumari had. I wish him success . Anupama you and rajeev definately do it the best. Pls do some master class or down memory lane with madhuri, Loved varun dhwans, rishi kapoors mami show.

Anupama mam you have to do interview with aamir khan.This is my request.I will be greatful to you💕,and i love lovee your channel.

great creator!

true.. failure teach you lot !

Even devdas remake in 2008, dev d was also ahead of times, why can't industry make those kinda movies now

SLB= The king of EPIC romance

Redemption, the word is redemption.

Sanjay sir please make a biopic on the late actress Madhubala

Yashraj heroes and slb heroines

Devdas still look better than today's movie n guzaarish also look better than today's flicks, why?

i love SLB

Director the best ers

see if he can find khliji in ranveer...i must say he possesses deep vision

Sir you have to make padmavati ...what you want to make no one has buisness to do with it ....you are such lovely director..sir you have to make it.....hope you make it...and you will..

as part of exploring film making you must try getting raja mouli and raja koduri together for bahubali2 next year. we are waiting for movie making research

He is a genius

good man

Take Vishal Bharadwaj interview team. That guy I love....mm

Hmm if only I hadn't seen the original movie about Helen Keller that he lifted scenes from for Black.

Ram Leela , Bajirao Mastani and padmavat best films 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am not a movie fan... But have been following anupama n Rajiv last couple of months for director / producers interviews. I am interested in viewing movie as a product and how ppl define and execute product creation. Anupama seems to understand this entire process so much, don't you feel like creating a story and telling it to the world rather than just analyzing it?

SJB thinking, ‘Seriously, COULD you have thought of a worse prop?!’

mam plz plz plz interviews anubhav sinha and sidharat anand directors plz

SLB is a true auteur....

4:31 Anupama to SLB: There is such a drama about the making of the film as much as there is drama in the film Karni Sena in 2018: Hold my beard

how to become next anupama , with more of positivity and less brutal to reviews ? PS : sincere fan of anupama ,i love just to sit and talk
