Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who last helmed his OTT debut series 바카라Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar바카라, has been getting all the love and attention for the project, which was released on Netflix on May 1. The film starred an ensemble cast including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, among others.
In fact, over the years, SLB has worked with several A-list stars like Shah Rukh Khan Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Ranveer Singh and more. However, do you know that he only considers Salman Khan as his 바카라friend바카라 in the industry? In a recent chat with Bollywood Hungama, Bhansali talked about the friendship he shares with Salman. The two worked together in the filmmaker바카라s debut film 바카라Khamoshi바카라, apart from 바카라Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam바카라, and 바카라Saawariya바카라. They were expected to collaborate with 바카라Inshallah바카라, which was supposed to star Salman and Alia Bhatt, but the project got shelved due to creative differences.
Talking about Salman, Sanjay said, "The only person that I'm still friendly with is Salman Khan. Even if Inshallah didn't happen, he stands by me. He'll call me; he'll care for me. 바카라Are you okay? Is there anything (you need)? You've goofed up, you messed up바카라. I enjoy his humour so much. It (phone call) comes once in three months, once in five months, but it comes because he doesn't care about my film. He cares about me. 바카라You, bro, you've done so many films with me, it doesn't matter. Are you okay?바카라 And that is what it is all about."


He further continued, 바카라On work, we may have sparred, we may have not had our moment correct, and it didn바카라t fall into place. But after one month, he called me, and I called him, and we talked. So that is a friend. In that sense, I'm fortunate enough to have that friend who once in six months will speak and will exactly start from where we left.바카라
Now post the success of 바카라Heeramandi바카라, Bhansali is geared up for the shooting of his next film 바카라Love & War바카라, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in the lead. It is slated to release in December 2025.
