**The name is on the buzz from last of few months and the reason is the release of his exceptional movie Padmavati oh sorry Padmavat.** Well, I am no one to judge **but calling him overrated will not be justice,** no doubt **he is one of the greatest directors Indian cinema has.**\

Being a big fan of him I personally think **his movies are something very soothing to see.** All of his movies have something great to offer the audience. **With his last three movies, he has shown the whole world why he is considered as one of the most sophisticated directors of Bollywood.** \

**He is brilliant directors who take out more than 100% from actors working in his movies.** In **Bajirao Mastani and Padmavat** I literally got **astonished seeing the amazing acting skills of "Ranveer Singh"** who is still a new face in **Bollywood** no doubt he is an amazing actor but when **he was exceptional when he worked with Sanjay** Leela Bhansali. \

This is what Ranveer said for Sanjay Leela Bhansali: **"Sanjay Sir has given me a gift of a character that I will forever be indebted to him for in my role, more than I already am. You have shaped me into the artist that I am..."** \

\
**It’s really disheartening to see people of our own country are unable to accept and praise an artist with immense talent.** While there are so many important issues for which revolts and protests should be done. Whereas, people are busy in protesting over a movie which is nothing but a simple piece of art. \
