Prosperous production house Viacom 18 is going all out to ensure Sanjay Leela Bhansali\u2019s historical spectacle Padmavati in a bid to make it the most lavish Bollywood film of all times, much bigger in scale and impact than Rajamouli\u2019s Baahubali.<\/p>\n

Sources in the know say it\u2019s not just the budget of Padmavati which would be higher than any Indian film so far \u2014it\u2019s the scale of the endeavour too. Says the source, \u201cEvery important song and battle scene in the film is going to be filmed on an international scale.<\/p>\n

In fact Padmavati will be the first Bhansali film to have a separate international cut, different in length and character from the desi version which will be longer. Of course his Devdas and Black got a global audience, but they were not cut separately for an international audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Bhansalis<\/p>\n

The fact that Bhansali staged the story of Padmavati in Paris\u2019 posh and prestigious Theatre Chalet in 2008, made him plan a separate international version.<\/p>\n

Since SLB\u2019s forte is song and dance sequences, the film will have eight or nine numbers composed by the filmmaker himself. In fact he just shot a lavish one at Mehboob Studious with Deepik Padukone which cost approximately 1.75 crores.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were scores of trained folk dancers from Rajasthan to accompany Deepika. The set and the volume of the song is incomparable with anything attempted so far,\u201d adds a source.<\/p>\n

\"Bhansalis<\/p>\n

Says Sanjay Leela Bhansali, \u201cFor me, the starting point for all my creativity is music. I do what comes spontaneously to my heart.The director of the Theatre duChatelet, Jean-Luc Chopin, told me there\u2019s a lot of opera in Devdas, Black and Saawariya.<\/p>\n

I can understand the whole operatic tradition of singing emotions. In that sense, the great V.Shantaram has always been a huge influence right from Hum\u2026 Dil De Chuke Sanam.<\/p>\n

Even Black was in the same tradition as Shantaramji\u2019s cinema. I love his colours, vibrancy and theatrics. My cinema is also unabashedly dramatic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
