MUMBAI: Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali has managed to revive the box office culture to a certain degree given its good collection. Recently, Sanjay Leela Bhansali revealed how he managed to get Alia into the vibe. He recalled one strange incident when he exploded on the sets just to set the mood for Alia Bhatt.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali spoke about one scene where Alia as Gangubai had to explode while talking on phone. He stated that he saw a few crew members laughing and giggling on sets. Thinking that they were laughing at him, SLB simply lost cool.
He was quoted saying, "And then I exploded. All the actors on the set became quiet. It was my way of giving those vibes to her, of feeling the nerves of calling the mother, of getting the anger filled, and at what note it should explode. I never told her. Till date she doesn’t know that this is what I did to get her into that space. But as a director, I don’t like to give direct instructions to people, because it limits the actor’s imagination."
