Sanjay Leela Bhansali : You can’t have a Ram Leela event without Ram

The Ram Leela music launch was scheduled for 3rd october. The makers had planned a grand event featuring the cast including Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh which had to be cancelled due to Ranveer’s sudden illness.

A source suggested that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had the option of going ahead with the event without Ranveer, but he didn’t want to do that. He decided to cancel the event rather than do it half-heartedly. Bhansali on being questioned about this said,“I didn’t want to have the music launch without Ranveer. He is Ram and you can’t have a Ram-Leela event without Ram. He has worked very hard on the film and has done a fabulous job. I hope he has a speedy recovery.”

Deepika, who is shooting in Goa for another film, was supposed to fly down to Mumbai especially for the event. Now sources claim that the music will be released digitally. Last week, Ranveer contracted a severe case of dengue while shooting for Gunday in West Bengal. He has now been discharged but had been advised to take bed rest.

Well Sanjay, your concern and affection with Ranveer is evident from the fact that you cancelled such a grand event just for him.
