\"'Have Veteran actor Raza Murad<\/a> has worked with some of the biggest names in cinema, and he sees a common thread between two of its most celebrated storytellers. Speaking about Raj Kapoor<\/a> and Sanjay Leela Bhansali<\/a>, the seasoned actor, who never shies away from speaking his mind, says both filmmakers are perfectionists in his eyes.<\/p>\n

Raza Murad calls Sanjay Leela Bhansali a perfectionist<\/p>\n

Speaking to Vickey Lalwani, Raza called Sanjay Leela Bhansali \u201ca perfectionist\u201d. When the host brought up reports that the filmmaker is moody and loses his temper, the actor explained, \u201cSee, about the anger, when you are consistently unable to understand what he\u2019s trying to say, then he loses his cool. It\u2019s not like he is angry right from the start. And, of course, every person has their own temperament, and that anger isn\u2019t personal; it\u2019s related to work because it isn\u2019t happening properly. So, it\u2019s fine if he\u2019s getting angry. And, it\u2019s not like he only loses his temper at his assistants. I have seen him shouting at bigger stars as well.\u201dAsked whether he had seen Bhansali raise his voice at Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra, Raza replied, \u201cYes, he wants what he wants, and of course, I have seen him getting angry at stars as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raza Murad compares Bhansali with Raj Kapoor<\/p>\n

Comparing Bhansali with Raj Kapoor, Raza said neither filmmaker was willing to compromise on his work. Asked how he would rate the two, the actor stated, \u201cBoth of them are perfectionists. They want what they want. Time, shift, money, set, dates were of least importance to them. It\u2019s okay if it takes eight days instead of four days. And when they are on set, they mean business. \u2018Hum kaam karne ke liye aaye hain (We have come here to work). And this has happened twice with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raza Murad recalls working with Raj Kapoor in \u2018Prem Rog\u2019<\/p>\n

He then looked back on his first time working with Raj Kapoor, in \u2018Prem Rog\u2019 (1982). \u201cWhen I was working for the first time with Raj saab in Prem Rog. It was my first day, and \u2018meri kya aukaat thi unke saamne\u2018 (What was my status in front of him!?). Despite stiff opposition from his sons stating that I wouldn\u2019t suit the role\u2026 and I was a small-time actor, Raj saab said, \u2018Ye role karenge toh Raza saahab hi karenge (If there\u2019s someone who can do this role, it\u2019s only Raza sir). He made me meet everyone on the set like I was some head of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
