Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil
De Chuke Sanam which starred Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead remains to be one of the most notable films of the filmmaker till now.

Cinematographer of the film Anil Mehta recently went on to share some unknown details about the much loved film.

He said,  "I remember in the desert; Salman just
went with the scene. Otherwise, which hero is
going to lie down in the hot sand in some
desert and ask people to put that sand on
him? He was doing it himself and that's also
infectious. You are drawing from that energy
and then he started doing some random stuff.”

He further added, "Later,
the camera also points at the sun which was a
"no, no' at the time then, today, it is the norm. I
was free-flowing with it. Like I said, it was the
energy of the piece and the performance and
then, of course, it was the master at work
(Sanjay Leela Bhansali) the master of drama
at work.”

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film released on June 18, 1999. It revolves around the newly married couple (Aishwarya and Ajay) where he discovers that his wife is in love with someone else (Salman) and sets to reunite them. But things go other way when Aishwarya realises she is now in love with Ajay.
