    What's the story

    Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat' is scripting history at the Box Office, with latest reports suggesting it has entered the Rs. 200 crore club. But anyone following the news would know this wasn't easy.

    The magnum opus faced protests, the director was threatened and public property vandalized.

    During this trying time, it was SLB's love for cinema which kept him going, revealed the director.
