Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is doing perfectly fine, his team confirmed after rumours of a health scare circulated online, calling the hospitalisation reports false and misleading.
Bhansali’s publicist clarified that the director was not hospitalised and had only gone for a routine medical check-up. The family also thanked fans for their concern, assuring there was no cause for worry.
The acclaimed filmmaker recently celebrated a working birthday on the sets of Love & War, starring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. Bhansali remains one of Indian cinema’s most influential auteurs known for visually grand storytelling.
Actors and collaborators flooded social media with birthday wishes. Manisha Koirala praised Bhansali’s devotion to cinema and poetic storytelling, recalling their collaboration in Khamoshi: The Musical.
Love & War continues production, with strong expectations around Bhansali’s return to large-scale romantic drama, a genre closely associated with his legacy.
