Even as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela' continues to do a roaring business at the box-office, boasting of a whopping business of Rs. 52 cr in the first few days, the desi version of Shakespearean classic Romeo and Juliet has found it's biggest and best fan - Amitabh Bachchan.
Seems Big B is totally bowled over by Bhansali's latest, so much so that he ended up watching it thrice in a row within a span of just 24 hours. Whoa!
Not just that, the megastar was full of praises for the film's lead artistes Deepika and Ranveer and personally congratulated the director and the two lead actors over the phone. Big-B was equally floored by Supriya Pathak and Richa Chadda’s act, it seems.
He expressed his view about the film on his blog and posted, “”There is a certain joy in acknowledging the accomplishments of another… I did so today for ‘Ram-Leela’, the film and its glorious cast and crew… With Sanjay Leela Bhansali, with Deepika and Ranveer and Supriya and Richa… All that have made this film a most memorable experience for me..I have watched it 3 times over in the last 24 hours and still desire more…”
That’s not all! The Shahenshah of Bollywood couldn't stop going gaga over the lead cast. “I relish the professionalism of those of this generation … I am in awe of their accomplishments in such short period … the sincerity and the absolute correct note in their early performances is incredible…” posted Mr Bachchan.
With so much of rave reviews pouring in from all corners, Big B's lavish praise just adds as a cherry on the cake.
