Priyanka Chopra about the Ram Leela song
Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram on Thursday to share a post describing the song "a complicated decision" at the time, but revealed being "inspired" by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's creative vision.
She wrote, "When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker, has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories, usually over incredible food, the conversations about art, music, and dance... the beauty of the yesteryears, but also what the future holds. And then he played the song... and I knew I was her."
The Heads of State actress also praised the team behind the iconic track, crediting the cinematography by Ravi Varman and the choreography by Vishnu Deva for bringing the number to life. She wrote, "Under Sanjay Sir's guidance, Ravi Varman's cinematography shone, and Vishnu Deva's choreography was magic. He and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories."
