Paying an ode to this mother's name with his upcoming magnum opus, Sanjay Leela Bhansali pays tribute through the romantic-drama titled Ram-Leela.
Deepika Padukone, who essays the character of the vivacious Leela in
the film, felt an overwhelming responsibility towards her role,
especially since it was named after his mother's name and couldn't have
been happier when Sanjay Leela Bhansali praised her performance and her
relentless perseverance on the final day of the filming.
Says Deepika, "I feel very responsible. I know what his mother means to him. It's a nice way to look up to his mother."
Ram-Leela starring
Deepika Padukone and
Ranveer Singh is scheduled to release on November 15th 2013.
