Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that Rishi Kapoor was upset with him, believing that the movie would destroy his son’s acting career.

Eventually, Rishi finally saw the film and was left stunned and angry as he thought ‘Saawariya’ would destroy Ranbir Kapoor’s career.

However, Rishi Kapoor later came around and said that he made a mistake in evaluating ‘Saawariya.’
“Many critics and cineastes were puzzled with what I tried to do in Saawariya. The language of expression, the texture of storytelling, and the performances were all unique. I had an amazing team of actors. Ranbir, Sonam Kapoor surrendered completely to my vision. They were like clay being molded into beautiful shapes,” Bhansali said.
“I am so proud of where Ranbir has reached. And I had two legendary performers Begum Para and Zohra Sehgal in my film. And Rani, oh my God, Rani Mukerji was so so special! She took Saawariya to the level I wanted to,” he added.
Despite negative responses from film critics, the Bollywood filmmaker resolved that he would not change anything about the film if he made it today.
Released in 2017, ‘Saawariya,’ co-starring Ranbir Kapoor with Sonam Kapoor, had a low outing at the box office due to its slow storyline along with its visual appearance based on a blue-coloured set.
