Recalling the incident, he said, “When I met Deepika for the first time and went to her house, she opened the door. I was stunned by her beauty and eyes. When I realized how much subtlety, how much fragility and how much beauty they contain. She started talking and I realized she had a beautiful voice.” Furthermore, the 'Heeramandi' producer said, “Then I realized I was in the right place at the right time because I knew this girl would be molded, taken somewhere. It's your instinct how you connect. Your soul has to connect with their soul.” Meanwhile, Bhansali and Padukone's first film was 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela'. Notably, the film marked the first time that Padukone shared the screen with her now husband, Ranveer Singh. Apart from her, the film also stars Supriya Pathak, Richa Chadda, Sharad Kelkar, Gulshan Devaiah, Barkha Bisht Sengupta and Abhimanyu Singh.
After 'Ram-Leela', both Deepika and Ranveer worked with Bhansali in 'Bajirao Mastani'. Priyanka Chopra also played an important role in the film. Finally, the trio worked together in 'Padmavat', released in 2018. The film also starred Shahid Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh in lead roles. The collaboration between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika Padukone has proven pivotal in both their careers. All three films remain among the top works in his cinematic career. Moving forward, Deepika's next film is Rohit Shetty's multi-starrer 'Singham Again'. This film will be released in theaters on November 1. 'Singham Again' stars Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. On the other hand, Bhansali is currently working on 'Love and War' starring Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor.
