Since his debut in 2010, Ranveer Singh has become a very dependable and bankable star. A huge credit for his growth and success goes to ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who collaborated with Ranveer on multiple projects and directed best performances of his career. As Sanjay completed 25 years in Bollywood, Ranveer shared a few words of appreciation and revealed how working with Bhansali brings out the best of an actor.

Ranveer wrote, "Whenever you are directed by him you have a tremendous growth spurt as a performer. He challenges you, he pushes you to deliver a performance that’s visceral, spirited and comes from a place deep within you. He enriches and inspires you. He nurtures his actors and extracts their very best performances."

The actor further explained, "He has an ability to raise the stakes of the conflict in shooting a film scene, such that achieving that gold standard, that degree of excellence often feels like moving target, and he makes you feel like hitting that target is a matter of life and death.

“Sometimes it feels as if you are at war with your self- at war with the limitations and boundaries you’ve become comfortable within. He pushes you forth in a way that propels you and ensures that you win this hard-fought battle with your own constructs."
