Two years after enthralling the movie world with his highly acclaimed movie ‘Black’, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali returns with ‘Saawariya’.

The movie introduces two newcomers: Ranbir Kapoor (son of Rishi Kapoor ) and Sonam Kapoor (daughter of Anil Kapoor ).

‘Saawariya’ is a love story between two youngsters. The tagline says: “Her world was the wait for love. His was the wait for her love. What echoed was...Saawariya.”

Going by the movie’s promos, ‘Saawariya’ will be rich in visual imagery typical of Bhansali’s style. The movie’s music is already a hit.

After making Black , Bhansali says he was left wondering what to do next. He had already worked with the best talents in the industry. Now he needed a new challenge.

“I decided to do a fresh, simple love story with newcomers. I didn’t want big stars. This was the challenge I undertook,” says Bhansali.

The two newcomers Bhansali chose were Ranbir and Sonam. Both had assisted him during the making of ‘Black’. Back then, Sonam was a plump girl who weighed 90 kgs. When Bhansali told her that she would be the heroine of his next film, she couldn’t believe it. Bhansali told her to work on her body to get back in shape to play the leading lady in ‘Saawariya’. Sonam worked hard and within a few months she lost 30 kgs.

Ranbir, on the other hand, was told not to build his physique. Bhansali wanted a lean-looking hero.

In ‘Saawariya’ Bhansali has banked on new music director Monty Sharma, who did the background score for ‘Black’. The film’s music album has 11 songs, of which one number has been composed by Bhansali himself. It is a tune that Bhansali had been humming for many years. He gave the tune to Monty who changed it to musical notations and came up with the song Thode Badmash Ho Tum.

The film’s cinematography is by Ravi K Chandran who has given a blue and green hue to the film. Most of the movie has been shot in the misty night-light that was artificially created in the studios. Before the shooting commenced, Bhansali reportedly asked Chandran to give a surrealistic shade to the visuals. And Chandran seems to have done a good job.

‘Saawariya’ is set to release on November 9, which is also the day when Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited Om Shanti Om hits the screens.
