"When You Work With Him, You Believe That You Are Limitless": Ranveer Singh For Sanjay Leela Bhansali

"My bond with SLB (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) is very deep," Ranveer Singh wrote on Instagram

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali completed 25 years in the Hindi film industry today and actor Ranveer Singh, who has worked in three films with him, marked the day with two special Instagram posts. Ranveer Singh shared two pictures of himself and Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Instagram and complemented them with long emotional notes. In the first note, Ranveer Singh poured his heart out sharing how working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali has caused "a tremendous growth spurt" in him. "My bond with SLB (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) is very deep. I have done my best work with him. 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," Ranveer Singh wrote. "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," he added. The 36-year-old actor went on to share how working on a "Sanjay Leela Bhansali film puts one in a creative flux" and leads to "an evolution" of the artist. "Working on an SLB film puts you in a creative flux, and after the process you feel like an evolution has occurred within you," Ranveer Singh wrote. "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," he added. Further in his note, Ranveer Singh described working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali as being "at war with the limitations and boundaries" that one gets comfortable with. "Sometime, it feels as if you are at war with your self - at war with the limitations and boundaries you've become comfortable within," Ranveer Singh wrote. "He pushes you forth in a way that propels you and ensures that you win this hard-fought battle with your own constructs," he added. He ended the caption of his first Instagram post by sharing how Sanjay Leela Bhansali "expands the bandwidth of performers" by compelling them to "find new depths" within themselves. "I feel he truly expands your bandwidth as a performer, because he compels you to find new depths within yourself and he shows you new lengths that you can go to in order to achieve your own personal moment of artistic authenticity and cinematic magic," he wrote. "This essentially makes your repertoire as a performer much deeper and your range and bandwidth much wider. You become addicted to the magic he manages to concoct time after time," he added.
