Karan Johar might have depicted Sanjay Leela Bhansali in I Have Luv Storys.
Until and unless specified by the makers, the story and the characters of any film are suppose to be imaginary. Same holds true for the latest Bollywood release I Have Luv Storys, which hit theatres this week.
But, one character in the film that is seeking everyone’s attraction is the character of the sensitive director played Samir Soni. If sources in the industry, who have watched the film, are to be believed, the character of Veer played by Samir may be influenced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Sources in the industry say that though it may be incidental, whatever Samir does in the film is exactly the same as Sanjay Leela Bhansali does in real life.
A source close to Karan Johar, the producer of I Have Luv Storys says, “A lot of the scenes on the sets of the director’s film in I Hate Luv Storys are taken from the way Sanjay works on the sets of his films.”
The source adds, “Imran’s and Sonam’s interaction with the director, played by Samir, seems just the way Sanjay interacted with his staff on the sets of Black and Saawariya.”
Further, the way Imran has interacted with Samir in the film is quite similar to and reminds you of the way Ranbir Kapoor used to interact with the director in the days when he used to assist Sanjay.
But, by showing this character, which resembles Sanjay in a film that features Sonam, who was given her break by Sanjay himself, has Karan Johar insulted the director? Not at all, if sources are to be believed. If fact, the sources point out that to get the portrayal of Sanjay so close to real, it is quite likely that being a close friend of Sanjay, Karan might have discussed these scenes with him and not only taken his approval but also his guidance before shooting them.
By depicting Sanjay Leela Bhansali in I Have Luv Storys, Karan has made good use of his friendship with the director.
