Bhansali tested Deepika during 'Ram Leela'

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to be a tough taskmaster and his leading lady Deepika Padukone got a taste of it during the making of Ram Leela. Sources say the director used to make frequent changes to his scripts, with the actress being handed a different set of dialogues every two hours.

An insider says, "Bhansali is a perfectionist. He expects the best from his cast. He is constantly improvising on the sets and asks his actors to re-do scenes until he is satisfied." And apparently that's why Dippy thinks the upcoming film is her toughest project yet.

A friend of the actress says, "Every scene in a SLB film is tough. Deepika has worked with many directors but working with Bhansali was not an easy task." Says the actress, "Every scene came to me as a challenge."u00a0
