Large revelation of Devdas’s cinematographer
Binod Pradhan said in a conversation with Friday Talkies that ‘There was a time when marriages were to be stopped in Mumbai or they have to schedule again because we used all the generators of the city. It was a very large area and I had to use a lot of generators to illuminate the place. If a director supports you, you can give your best. ‘
Sanjay used to talk about not compromising anything
Binod further states that ‘Sanjay Leela Bhansali had talked about not compromising anything in the film. He advised to shoot comfortably without any haste. To be honest, I did not think that the sets of Devdas would be so big. But, even after this, he was in no hurry to shoot the film. Where it used to be in most films that you used to take 15-20 shots in a day and sometimes 40 shots, but this was not the case with Devdas. We used to take only 3-4 shots in Devdas.
The effect of shooting of Devdas
He further explained- ‘The biggest reason for this delay was to set up lighting properly. As Paro’s house is made of glass, the lighting of that set was not easy. If I do not even work fast, I needed time to light up as big sets. The same problem was with Chandramukhi’s house. The entire set was so long, when my team saw the set for the first time, we were shocked how to shoot the film. In the circle of lighting of the film’s set, weddings were stopped inside Mumbai, as Sanjay Leela Bhansali had all the light generators of Mumbai stand on the set of Devdas. There was a time when it was being said that marriages in Mumbai had to stop or had to do postpon, because we used all the generators of the city for the film.
When Sanjay Leela Bhansali was going through financial troubles
Binod further said that when Sanjay Leela Bhansali was shooting for ‘Devdas’, he was going through financial troubles, but he left no stone unturned in the film. He did not want to make any kind of compromise with Devdas. Binod says – ‘Sanjay once told me that I should not compromise and keep doing work well. Rather, there was an economic problem with Devdas at one time, even then Sanjay told me that I should not compromise with the film.
