Ranbir Kapoor, who is currently shooting for Ramayana, once said that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali "tortured" him during the shoot of his debut film Saawariya.The old interview went viral on Reddit and it received diverse reactions from the users. "He (Bhansali) was a hard task-master and I was kneeling down on set, he was beating me...after a point it got so heavy and I felt so tortured that I had to quit the film at a point...I think it was like 10 or 11 months into my job and I am like ' listen I cant do this, its getting to me' I think I am too sensitive and emotional and he got to know me so well and he kind of kept poking into that... he got too much, went crazy as far as I was concerned," Ranbir said when he appeared on Neha Dhupia's podcast No Filter Neha in 2016.
"Having said that I think all my performances that I do in cinema it all comes from that experience, from him ...he was a true teacher in that sense...he taught me everything in terms of acting and emotions and stuff like that," the actor added. A user wrote, "He has issues. he sounds horrible to work for. you do not need to abuse people to get the best out of them." Another user wrote, "No wonder Richa said he breaks your ego. He sounds sadistic and abusive...makes sense why he's still so fond of Salman then". Take a look at the post here:
