‘Bajirao dream fulfilled, Salman would be happy’

Sanjay Leela Bhansali feels superstar Salman Khan would be “happy” that the filmmaker’s most-ambitious project till date, Bajirao Mastani, has finally released, even though the actor could not be a part of it as the director had envisioned earlier.

Bajirao Mastani, the magnum opus starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh Priyanka Chopra, released last Friday.

Bhansali had been wanting to make the period romance from past 12 years. The film was originally envisaged with Salman and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles. The pair’s break-up put the film in crisis.

“I think Salman will be happy to see that I have fulfilled my dream. He is beyond films. He is a cult today. He just stands in a film and the film will do Rs 300 crore (business). It doesn’t matter to him if he has done Bajirao Mastani or not,” said Bhansali. “I am sure he will be happy that I have at least fulfilled my dream that I lived for so many years. I don’t want to go away from the industry without having done it. I think he will be happy somewhere for it,” he said. 

“I don’t have the courage to call him and say ‘Would you like to see my film’ because he will say ‘Go away, I don’t want to see it,” he said.
