Sanjay Leela Bhansali is one of the top filmmakers of the country, with whom every actor and actress dreams of working. However, Bhansali is considered a tough task master. All the stars who have worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali have said that he makes them work with a lot of discipline on the set and even shouts if needed. But Bhansali was not like this earlier. He was once afraid of even talking to Madhuri Dixit, which was once revealed by director Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Vidhu Vinod Chopra directed the film ‘1942: A Love Story’. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was his assistant in this film. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, in a conversation with ‘Bollywood Hungama’, said about Sanjay Leela Bhansali that he takes pride in finding talent and giving it a chance. He also believes that others are better than him in many things of filmmaking.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra had said, ‘Sanjay Bhansali, now he has become Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He was my assistant. He was to receive some awards at MTV for directing ‘1942: A Love Story’. I told him to go. Now he shouts loudly, earlier he had gone to receive the award nervously.’

‘I was afraid to even call Madhuri’
Vidhu Vinod Chopra further told that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was afraid of even Madhuri Dixit. He told the incident, ‘He was a very different boy, but I knew that he was talented. And when I watch his movies, I am very happy. I say, ‘Wow, he did this.’ How do you recognize talent? You have to be honest to yourself. There should be some humility inside me so that I can see talent bigger than me.’ Vidhu Vinod Chopra told that Bhansali was so afraid that when the time was running out, he was nervous to even call Madhuri for the shot. But later Bhansali directed Madhuri Dixit in ‘Devdas’.
