'I'm ready to make happy love stories’

doweshowbellyad=0; Sanjay Leela Bhansali. (TOI Photo)Sanjay Leela Bhansali is at it again, giving shape to yet another love story with an unhappy ending. This time, it���s a French opera, to be performed at Paris��� Theatre du Chatelet.
He���s directing Albert Roussel���s Padmavati, the story of the queen of Chittor, who gives up her life to preserve love and dignity.The pathos never seems to leave him, does it? ���What���s wrong with sadness?��� Sanjay asks from Paris, adding, ���But you���re right, I think I���ll make a happy love story now.��� Why this sudden change of heart? ���Are you referring to Vaibhavi?��� he laughs.
Well, as I said, I���m ready to move on to happy love stories now! That should tell you everything. But no marriage date has been fixed yet. I am enjoying my relationship with her moment to moment. There is no commitment yet. But I live in hope. If a commitment does lie ahead, it will happen. We will let everyone know the date then.���
Back to his opera. Parlez-vous Francais? ���No, I don���t know French at all. But I���m working with interpreters. Besides, most of the actors and others know some broken English,��� he says.
And will it be larger than life, like all his productions? ���All my demands are being met. I asked for a tiger on stage, and got a trained tiger. I asked for elephants and got them on stage. I���m doing an opera probably once in my lifetime, so I���m going all out. There���s a 100-member orchestra and a 60-member choir too,��� Sanjay laughs.
