- 'My career journey has been truly incredible and amazing. All the films I have made so far have been made with a sincere heart. Heartily created.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has earned a special place not only in the hearts of the artists but also in the hearts of the viewers for his mastery of touching the human sensibility in a magnificent way. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films have a touch of straightness and empathy through his mother, he says heartily. His mother Lilabahen is his inspiration and he inspires her with his unique vision to make the film more and more attractive as well as touching the hearts of every viewer. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made nine films so far and is awaiting the release of his next film 'Gangubai Kathiyawadi'. He is also set to create a seven-season webseries called 'Hiramandi', based on the story of prostitutes in the 'Hiramandi' district of independent India and their cultural reality. In this webseries, love, betrayal, succession and politics will be presented in a very unique way.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali says for 'Hiramandi', 'This series could be a milestone in my journey. This is an epic. His first series is on the courtiers of Lahore. It is ambitious and covers all categories. So I'm very excited to make it, but not too nervous. "I am very excited to bring 'Hiramandi' to audiences around the world," he said. While Sanjay Leela Bhansali is so keen to make a web series multi-colored by bringing in a variety of colors of grandeur, it is only natural that one could not even imagine how much their marriage would cost for a multi-million dollar film.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali released his first film 'Khamoshi ઃ The Musical' on August 9 and started making strides in Bollywood, giving one superior film after another, which he gave an artistic touch. It is equally interesting to know how this fascinating, captivating journey came to be.

‘My career journey has been truly incredible and amazing. All the films I have made so far have been made with a sincere heart. Heartily created. In which the colors of the wall, the songs, the background, every thread of every costume, every dialogue, lighting, every carving, there is a cascade of incredible ideas. That's why I like it a lot when it comes to 'handmade films'. It cannot be called a handmade film without the efforts of everyone working behind the scenes. All these people have done incredible hard work in the film. I am really fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with fantastic talents and wonderful people. I believe this journey would not have been possible without them. With this I am grateful to all of this and to every technician, artist, artist, writer, producer, assistant director. The nine films I have made so far would not have been possible without him. They are the backbone of my films. This team has done the final product of the films you see on the screen, this is really an amazing team, 'said Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Talking about the heroines of his films, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, "I like to write about strong-minded, strong-willed and soft-hearted female characters - who are also passionate. When it comes to writing female characters, my mother's work has done a lot for me. A (my mother) had some sincere manners in her when she came to my father. She was weak, but not naive. In fact, his inner weakness was his greatest strength. Even if a dancer is passionate, sharp, yet charming and elegant. The image of my mother that I have, if I looked at it in detail, had billions of folds and I painted it on my canvas - of course, not every time, but sometimes it is needed. In some of my female characters you will see a partial glimpse of my mother. Characters like Leela in 'Ramlila' are completely reminiscent of my mother, 'he said.

To this day, every time I step on the set of a film, my hair stands on end, says Sanjay Leela Bhansali. On which awakens an intense desire to draw a picture of my vision. More than anything else, this spark is an irreparable loss that keeps my filmmaking passion alive. '

"I make all my films my heart and soul," he adds. To this day I am satisfied with what I want on the floor. I never went beyond that and shot the scene accordingly. People have misunderstood me and tagged me a taskmaster. Actually that’s my passion. I don't have any creative struggles, personally. When I'm on set, it's a sacred temple for me and that's where I characterize my project. '

For me, filmmaking is more of an art than a number game. I keep my passion in mind when I make films. Not the movie budget.

When I’m inspired by my art, I don’t think about how much money it will cost. How can I weigh my love for money? ' He said that.
