Sanjay Leela Bhansali obsessed with Madhuri

Bollywood Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali says that he is “obsessed” with Bollywood Actress Madhuri Dixit, perhaps even more than M F Hussain. “In my every film I wanted to direct Madhuri… right from ‘Khamoshi’ to this date. I am obsessed with her. No other director is as obsessed as me about Madhuri,” Bhansali told.

Vivek met Hrithik in his vanity van and then sent a message through a spot boy that he would like to meet Bhansali. The filmmaker is apparently very close to both of Vivek Oberoi’s enemies, Salman and Aishwarya, hence he has never been very warm with Vivek Oberoi. In the past too, SLB had taken Vivek’s name as the most overrated actor on “Koffee with Karan”. Later Vivek had retorted by saying that he loves Yash Raj’s movies and not any “black” and white films.
