Sanjay Leela Bhansali said – Sharmin had the perfect face for the role of Alamzeb that I had seen. If you have seen the role of Alamzeb, it has been shown that she does not want to be a courtesan. I was looking for a fresh new face for this role. Who has innocence on his face. One who does not speak like a courtesan. Who is interested in poetry. So keeping all these things in mind, I found Sharmin perfect for the role of Alamzeb.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali speaks on trolling his niece Sharmin
Talking about trolling Sharmin, Sanjay said – I didn’t troll her because she is my niece. He auditioned several times for this role. During this time she has gone through many tests. I don’t know how many of his tests I’ve taken, I don’t remember the count properly.
When I had decided that I would cast Sharmin, I told her that you will have to give tests. You have to get the right grip on Alamzeb’s character. Because this is a world where you have never stepped before. You never acted. All these actors I’ve cast have had careers spanning many years. Who knows how many characters he has played? Those people know what a delicacy is and how to bring it on screen, but you don’t. You have to learn all this. Delicacy, tantrums and all.
In this series of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, many actors like Sharmin Sehgal, Richa Chadha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi Sinha, Fardeen Khan, Farida Jalal have been seen in important roles.
