Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the maverick genius director, has celebrated 25 years in Bollywood and is presently working on his tenth film. He began his career with Khamoshi, starred Salman Khan, and Alia is now in his tenth picture. The director stated that filming the film was difficult due to two lockdowns. Sanjay Bhansali has also directed several hit films, including Rowdy Rathore, Gabbar is Back, Malaal, and many others. Sanjay’s most recent film, Padmaavat, was a huge hit.
