Twenty
five
years
ago
today,
ace
filmmaker
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
made
his
directorial
debut
with
Khamoshi
which
starred
Nana
Patekar,
Manisha
Koirala
and
Salman
Khan
in
the
lead
roles.
Among
others,
actor
Ranveer
Singh
has
done
most
number
of
projects
with
him
i.e.,
Goliyon
Ki
Raasleela
Ram-leela,
Bajirao
Mastani
and
Padmaavat.
As
Bhansali
completed
25
years
in
the
industry,
Ranveer
Singh
penned
a
heartfelt
note
for
him
and
wrote
that
his
bond
with
the
filmmaker
is
very
deep,
and
he
has
done
his
best
work
with
him.
He
wrote,
"He
is
a
master
of
his
craft
and
a
true
artist.
Whenever
you
are
directed
by
him
you
have
a
tremendous
growth
spurt
as
a
performer.
He
challenges
you,
he
pushes
you
to
deliver
a
performance
that's
visceral,
spirited
and
comes
from
a
place
deep
within
you.
He
enriches
and
inspires
you.
He
nurtures
his
actors
and
extracts
their
very
best
performances."
Ranveer
further
added
that
working
on
an
SLB
film
puts
an
actor
in
a
creative
flux,
and
once
the
shooting
is
over,
one
feels
like
an
evolution
has
occurred
within
oneself.
"He
has
an
ability
to
raise
the
stakes
of
the
conflict
in
shooting
a
film
scene,
such
that
achieving
that
gold
standard,
that
degree
of
excellence
often
feels
like
moving
target,
and
he
makes
you
feel
like
hitting
that
target
is
a
matter
of
life
and
death," added
the
Gunday
actor.
Praising
Bhansali,
Ranveer
further
wrote
that
the
former
not
only
expands
actors'
bandwidth
as
a
performer,
but
also
help
them
achieve
their
own
personal
moment
of
artistic
authenticity
and
cinematic
magic.
