Further while interacting during the meet and greet on Thursday, the Animal actor also spoke extensively about his experience of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the upcoming film Love and War. “Love and War is something which is every actor’s dream, like to work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky, and to be directed under the master Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. "I haven’t met a human being who worked so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, and the Indian value system as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. To be on his set is tiring, it is long, and the process can be a little daunting, but as an artist, it is satisfying because he nurtures art, and as actors, it’s truly amazing so far,” Ranbir stated.
