Vidhu @ IFFI: Bhansali carrying breadcrumbs to RD Burman rewriting a bulls**t tune
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|November 24, 2025
Did you know filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali once worked as an assistant to Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and that he was sent up a mountain to scatter breadcrumbs so birds would appear in a shot? This and several other anecdotes drew laughs at Vidhu's packed session at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on Saturday.
Recalling the shoot of Pyaar Hua Chupke Se from 1942: A Love Story, Vidhu said, "There were no birds at that height, but I wanted birds in the frame. Sanjay, my assistant then, went at night to spread breadcrumbs on the mountain top. Because of that, the birds came. Watching the 8K remastered version here at IFFI gave me so much joy, after 35 years!"
