Sanjay Leela Bhansali is upset with the film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' not earning its distribution rights money at the box office in the first week of its full thrust.
Bhansali, who has been busy with interviews, is now giving interviews by calling journalists, posing smiling pictures with them but what sanjay leela bhansali did during his first two interviews on the day of the trailer release of the same film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'.
While talking about women empowerment and women's respect, he suddenly got very angry with a woman staff that day and the only fault of that employee was that she was only following the instructions received from Bhansali's company.
This whole incident happened when sanjay leela bhansali was in the middle of his interview. This interview was not completed again. Although Bhansali was very embarrassed later on this act of his.
This whole incident is of a hotel in Mumbai. On that day there was a gathering of media from all over the country regarding the trailer release of the film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. Everyone first went to the theater and saw the trailer of the film.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, alia bhatt and ajay Devgan also reached the theater during this time. There was a lot of discussion on his aura on social media throughout the next week. The trailer was also cut better by Bhansali than the teaser of the film and people also discussed the change in his storytelling from teaser to trailer.
But the real discussion of that day that did not happen was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's attitude on that day. After watching the trailer, when the journalists reached the hotel in Juhu where sanjay leela bhansali and alia bhatt were to interview, Bhansali started crying about the interview.
When he reached near the setup for the interview, he kept saying the same thing again and again, 'Why are you getting me to do this. I'm not an artist. I cannot do all this.' But at the same time, he kept getting makeup done by the makeup man. He also kept making fun of the female journalist sitting in front.
When his first interview was over, Bhansali said that he simply would not do interviews anymore. But, he was also going to say that there is no use for him in giving an interview, he is just doing him a favor.
The interview began by talking about the strength of female characters in his cinema, his process of choosing stories and the directors of hindi cinema who influenced his cinema. Mehboob, Kamal Amrohi, Bimal Roy were being talked about. He was talking about women's power.
He was recounting the women's empowerment in cinema teachings he had acquired from these directors. We had arrived in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' thanks to 'Sujata' and 'Bandini.' 'This film appears to have been made by Gangubai's spirit,' Bhansali said.
Before the start of the interview, it was decided between the staff of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's company and the company handling the promotion work of the film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' that the maximum time for each interview will be fixed in advance and as soon as this deadline is about to end.
The staff standing near the camera placed in front of the interviewer will indicate this to the journalist. This practice is going on all over the world. In Hollywood, the staff in front of the camera turns up the placard in their hands. In Mumbai, the team looking after the promotional work does the same thing with the hand gesture of 'Time Up'.
But, during this interview, as soon as this gesture was made by the female staff involved in the promotion team, Bhansali was furious. He said that he was enjoying giving the interview and that lady staff spoiled his whole mood.
Till now, this was the changed form of Bhansali who kept talking about women empowerment and women's respect. He took out his mic. And, started shouting at the lady employee who indicated that the interview time was over.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali probably hoped during this time that he would be requested again to complete the interview. Within minutes, he also understood what he had done in front of the camera. His intention was also seen that he should sit back in his chair and complete the interview.
Meanwhile, his staff started deleting the footage of Bhansali's flare-up on the female employee. Where women are felicitated, there the gods reside or say that divine fruits are obtained there. But where women are not respected. All the actions there are bound to be fruitless.
