Mumbai: Producer of hit films like ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Padmavat’ and ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela-Ram-Leela’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Monday celebrated 25 years in the film industry and said he has enjoyed making movies “every minute” of his journey in Bollywood.

Bhansali made his directorial debut with the 1996 drama “Khamoshi: The Musical” featuring Manisha Koirala, Salman Khan, Nana Patekar and Seema Biswas. He got nationwide acclaim in 1999 with the romantic drama “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”.

The official account of Bhansali Productions took to Twitter and shared a montage of his films, chronicling his Bollywood journey through his work.

“Each passing day has been an onset of a new beginning. A journey of a thousand miles wouldn’t have been possible without each one of you.

“As we celebrate #25YearsOfSLB, we relive every moment of curating these handmade films just for you. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey,” the tweet read.

In 2005, Bhansali produced ‘Black’ with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji and “Guzaarish”, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in 2010.

He launched Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor in his 2007 romance drama ‘Saawariya,’ perhaps the only movie to have got a lukewarm response.

The special anniversary video ended with the quote of the 58-year-old director.

“I have enjoyed every minute of making films these 25 years. And still a long way to go,” he said.

Apart from direction, writing and production, Bhansali has also worked as an editor and music composer on some of his films.

The director has four National Film Awards to his credit for ‘Devdas’, ‘Black’, ‘Bajirao Mastani’and ‘Padmaavat’.

Bhansali has also backed Akshay Kumar’s actioner ‘Rowdy Rathore’ and ‘Mary Kom’, the Priyanka Chopra-led 2014 biopic on the Olympic bronze medallist boxer, which won a National Award in the best popular film providing wholesome entertainment category. He is now gearing up for the release of his upcoming drama, ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ with Alia Bhatt in the lead.
