All said, even an Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan could not reproduce the magic of the original 'Devdas.'
Even the song that I did for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Gabbar' is an old number. But working with Mr Bhansali was a dream come true.
The movie 'Devdas' is extremely close to my heart. It is one of my favourite movies. and the name Dev, too, is something I like a lot.
I have been fascinated by Rani Padmavati from my childhood.
And I had never thought I'd get to work with a Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He is the master of period films. He makes everything with so much love.
I have one favourite song, and that's 'Aayat' from 'Bajirao Mastani.'
Only directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who make period films, have songs in their movies that facilitate the inclusion of classical dance forms. No one else is concentrating on making pure classical numbers.
I heard that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has an eye for detail, and it shows in his work, but seeing it firsthand is a powerful experience.
