Sanjay Leela Bhansali had a fabulous year as a director-producer, music composer and screenplay contributor, with his dream project Bajirao Mastani earning Rs 360 crore worldwide. Apart from critical acclaim and several other recognitions, Bhansali also won the prestigious Golden Lotus Award (Swarna Kamal) for Best Direction at the 63rd National Film Awards. He is now busy with his next period drama Padmavati, which is scheduled to release in November 2017.
Fast Fact: Bhansali had composed the 'Deewani Mastani' song from Bajirao Mastani, almost 12 years back, when he had first conceived the idea of the film.
