Vibhu
Puri,
the
director
of
the
period
offering
Hawaizaada,
does
not
deny
his
guru
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
contribution
to
its
visual
and
emotional
design.
"I've
studied
in
that
school.
The
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
school
of
filmmaking.
I've
learnt
whatever
I
have
to
learn
about
filmmaking
from
him.
So
it
is
only
natural
that
I
hold
his
influence
in
my
creativity," said
Puri.
The
debutant
director
goes
a
step
further
to
reveal
that
the
mentor-pupil
relationship
in
Hawaizaada
is
modelled
on
his
own
stormy
relationship
with
Bhansali.
"The
relationship
between
Mithun
da
(Mithun
Chakraborty)
and
Ayushmann
(Khurrana)
is
modelled
on
my
own
rapport
with
Sanjay
sir.
We'd
have
heated
arguments
and
I'd
storm
off
threatening
to
never
return
"There
is
a
sequence
where
Ayushmann
fights
and
returns
to
Mithunda
after
a
few
hours
and
Mithunda
smirks,
'You
are
back
in
just
two
hours?
I
thought
you'd
be
back
after
two
days.'
That's
exactly
what
Sanjay
sir
said
to
me."
Puri
is
very
keen
to
show
his
film
to
his
mentor.
"Sanjay
sir
is
shooting
for
'Bajirao
Mastani',
but
he
has
promised
to
see
my
film," he
said.
