Richa Chadha has opened up about what her mental space was like when Sanjay Leela Bhansali was "losing patience" with her, days after disclosing that she had to give a dance number in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar 99 takes. Richa acknowledged that she was "totally demolished," but she was determined to make the correct choice. Richa told Galatta Plus, "He (SLB) is a master because he is a classically trained Odissi dancer, so he knows the taal, he knows the rhythm," recalling her predicament on set while she was trying to capture the photo just perfect. I have training in a completely distinct form called Kathak. Because he completed 99 takes, I believe he combined elements of Kubrick and Spielberg for that scene.
