On the Great Indian Kapil Show, the stars shared their experiences with the perfectionist director, while acting on the sets of Heeramandi.
The latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil show had actors Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sonakshi Sinha and Richa Chadha. They all regaled the audience with the stories on the sets.
Richa Chadha said, while talking about a dance sequence, “You don’t have to do much. You are wearing a 20-kilo lehenga, you will spin around eight times. And when you hit the mark, you have to stop there, look up, and shed a tear from your left eye.”
Sanjay Leela Bhansali goes into details and another instance she recounts is, “You must have seen in the posters that I have flowers on my head. Those roses had to be changed several times. He said, “This rose has gone mad. Replace it.”
Sonakshi shared her views on Sanjay sir, stating, “Sometimes the decorative lamp would snuff out in the back. Sometimes the curtain wasn’t properly creased. Sometimes the drape of the dress wasn’t right.” He would ask for a reshoot.
Sanjeeda Sheikh explicitly shared, “Even the chair is working. It has character. All the props on the sets, even the curtain in the background has to work.”
Nobody has a vision like him, all the cast felt. The show is running well the world over.
