Priyanka Chopra Reflects on ‘Ram Chahe Leela’, Says Saying Yes Was a “Complicated Decision”

The dance number “Ram Chahe Leela” from the 2013 film ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ is still remembered for Priyanka Chopra’s powerful performance.

The ‘Barfi’ actress, on Thursday, took to her Instagram to share a post looking back at the experience and reflecting on her thoughts. Posting a clip from the song, Priyanka mentioned that it wasn’t an easy decision to take up the performance. She called it “a complicated decision” at the time, but said she was “inspired” by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s creative vision.

“When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker, has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories, usually over incredible food, the conversations about art, music, and dance… the beauty of the yesteryears, but also what the future holds. And then he played the song… and I knew I was her,” read her Instagram post.
She also praised the team behind the iconic track, saying the cinematography by Ravi Varman and the choreography by Vishnu Deva brought the number to life. Recalling rehearsals, she wrote, “Under Sanjay Sir’s guidance, Ravi Varman’s cinematography shone, and Vishnu Deva’s choreography was magic. He and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories.”
