Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who recently announced his digital debut with the Netflix series `Heeramandi`, shared his childhood memory of watching a film shoot that inspired him to become a filmmaker. In an interview on Netflix India`s Tudum Spotlight, the director talked about `Heeramandi` as a story of courtesans and the politics within the brothels during pre-independent India.
Sharing his childhood memory, Bhansali said, "I remember when I was a four-year-old kid and my father had taken me to a shoot and he said you sit here and I`ll meet my friends and come. I was in the studio and it seemed the most comfortable to me. More than a school, a playground, a cousin`s house, or anywhere in the world, I thought it was the most beautiful place. When I look back at 25 years, I think it`s very precious to me because you have to be blessed to be able to get a chance to make a film and that`s why I cling to the studio because the studio floor is the most magical, that`s my temple, that`s my everything."
