Ileana used to cry every day on the set of Barfi, made up his mind to leave Ranbir Kapoor’s film, the director was the reason:

News India Live, Digital Desk: The 2012 ‘Barfi’ is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful films of Indian cinema. It also proved to be a milestone for the career of Ileana Dikruz, who made her Bollywood debut with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. But do you know that during the shooting of the film that made Ileana a star overnight, she was so upset that she used to cry every day and she had decided to leave the film.

The reason for this was Anurag Basu, the director of the film.

Neither script, nor dialogue … just do something ‘

Ileana herself revealed this in an old interview. He told that the way Anurag Basu’s work is very different from the rest of the directors. He does not bring a tied script or dialogue on the set. Many times Ileana did not know what to do in the next scene.

Ileana said, “I used to feel completely lost on the set. I did not understand what was happening. Anurag Basu would come and say, ‘Light is good, let’s take the shot.’ He would explain the scene to me and then Ranbir would come and say, “Okay, just walk with me, everything will happen.” “Ileana was very nervous due to this uncertainty.

When wept crying- ‘I want to leave the film’

The condition had become such that Ileana used to cry home after shooting almost every day. She felt that she is not a good actress and could not do her work properly. After the first week, his patience was answered. He called his manager and said weeping, “I cannot do this film. Whatever signing amount I have taken from the producer, I am ready to return, but I will not be able to do it.”

His manager pacified him and explained that Anurag Basu’s method is different, but he is a great director and should trust him.

Gradually Ileana started to understand the way of Anurag Basu. He felt that Anurag Basu wanted to bring the real and natural emotion of the characters on screen, not the rhetoric acting. When the film was released and it found the audience’s unbeatable love, Ileana realized that Anurag Basu’s hard work and her unique ways made the film so special. Today Ileana considers ‘Barfi’ to be the most memorable film of her career.
