In the words of Simi Garewal, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a 'simple guy with a complex mind.' His reputation for having an eye for detail and intricate perfection precedes him in a room. The man is a taskmaster and doesn't settle for anything less than grandeur and brilliance. Thus, it is only likely that his actors have a tough time on the sets, take after take, and if Ranbir Kapoor is to be believed, he doesn't do anything less than '45 takes!'

Ranbir made his debut in Bollywood with Bhansali's Saawariya, with Sonam Kapoor. Showcasing physical nudity as a debutante is not a quest conquered by many, but under SLB's direction, RK went nude from his first film. Bhansali, who significantly contributes to his each movie's music, is a very musical director, reveals Kapoor.

"I started with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and he doesn’t do anything less than 45 takes. So even if I had to turn my head, I probably had to give 50 takes. There was a shot in this so-called ‘towel song’ Jab Se Tere Naina, where I had to roll back on this chair and fall down and the towel had to fall in a certain way with my leg showing and there was one shot where I was lying down laughing and I had to get up and sing a song and he’s very particular about what beat you catch, he’s a very musical director – you fall on this beat, you lift your head here, you laugh here – everything is musical. I did 45 or 50 takes one day and my back really broke. The next morning when I came back, he said, ‘No, I’ve not got it’ and I had to do another 70 takes."

And hence, it is no surprise that the song became a massive hit in the year of its release, and RK shot to instant fame with his 'towel drop.' Don't you think it's high time Bhansali and Kapoor combine their forces once again for another cinematic delight? Let us know where to sign!
