Not the towel drop but this scene from the Saawariya song made Ranbir Kapoor take close to 100 retakes

We know how particular Sanjay Leela Bhansali is when it comes to his films. He can be an actor's nightmare but the director strives for perfection and he won't allow any compromises on that. Ranbir Kapoor, who was among the fortunate ones who had a chance to mark his debut with SLB's Saawariya, recently recalled an incident where he had to take more than 100 retakes just to get a particular scene right in his song.
Ranbir in his recent interaction with film critic, Anupama Chopra, talked about the most takes he has given for a film and said, I started with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and he doesn t do anything less than 45 takes. So even if I had to turn my head, I probably had to give 50 takes. There was a shot in this so-called towel song Jab Se Tere Naina, where I had to roll back on this chair and fall down and the towel had to fall in a certain way with my leg showing and there was one shot where I was lying down laughing and I had to get up and sing a song and he s very particular about what beat you catch, he s a very musical director you fall on this beat, you lift your head here, you laugh here everything is musical. I did 45 or 50 takes one day and my back really broke. The next morning when I came back, he said, No, I ve not got it and I had to do another 70 takes. Can you imagine? Doing the same scene over and over again? But that hard work you have to put in if you want to earn a Sanjay Leela Bhansali's pat on your back.
Further RK Jr even opened up about his ladylove Alia and what she means to him. Falling in love is the greatest thing in the world, the greatest feeling in the world. When you fall in love, everything is great, even water tastes like sherbet. You feel great. as he also commented on whether it affects his work or no by saying, It does to me as a human being. That s who I am. If I feel good about myself, the day, waking up in the morning and going to work, it s because life is great and love makes life great," he said this in his same interview with Film Companion..
