Veteran actor Raza Murad has identified a common trait of perfectionism between celebrated filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the late Raj Kapoor. Murad stated that both directors were uncompromising in their vision, prioritizing their artistic goals over time, shifts, or financial considerations.
Murad elaborated on Bhansali's working style, noting that his reported temper is a result of frustration when his vision is not met, rather than personal animosity. He confirmed witnessing Bhansali express his displeasure with assistants and even major stars, including Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra.
