Ismail Darbar Declares Total Break With Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Says He’d Refuse ₹100 Crore Offer

Darbar cites a ‘backbone of Heeramandi’ article as the flashpoint for the split.

Overview

  • The composer says he and Bhansali have had a 100% fallout and calls the filmmaker “egoistic.”
  • Darbar says he worked on Heeramandi for about a year and a half before leaving after Bhansali confronted him over a report praising Darbar’s music as the show’s backbone.
  • He alleges Bhansali instructed PR teams not to arrange his interviews during their tensions.
  • Darbar adds he was once slated to work on Guzaarish but says earlier disagreements during Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas scuttled that plan.
  • The remarks come in a new interview carried by News18 and Hindustan Times, which include no response from Bhansali; Darbar also says he did not like Heeramandi and claims his music would have made it “immortal.”
