Filming
Initially shot in Gujarat, some sequences of Ram-Leela were shot in Udaipur particularly at Udaipur palace and Gangaur Ghat where a song sequence was shot. The story of the film is set in Gujarat. In Udaipur, Singh shot a song sequence in freezing cold water for about 45 minutes. Padukone was injured on set; however she had to continue shooting as an expensive set was put up at Film City for a song. It was confirmed that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had set up a gym on the sets in Filmcity Mumbai for the lead actor Ranveer Singh to not be late for the shooting and to avoid any delays for the movie. Attempts by Kareena Kapoor to work with Bhansali had failed, after she was initially signed on for Ram-Leela. However, she was later ousted from the movie by Bhansali. Reportedly, Priyanka Chopra was cast as a replacement, however she was also replaced due to unknown reasons. Deepika Padukone was finally signed on for the film in August 2012, as confirmed by Ranveer Singh. Singh, who plays a Gujarati boy, had to learn some Gujarati abuses as well as gain muscle for his character in the film. The first look of the film shows Padukone sporting a 30 kg ghaghra with a 50 metre 'ghera'. Richa Chadda of Gangs of Wasseypur fame was also signed on to play a significant role, casting by Shruti Mahajan in the film whereas Barkha Bisht plays a supporting role opposite Abhimanyu Singh (of Gulaal fame). Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who previously worked with Bhansali on Black, was hired initially for the costumes of the leading lady, but was later replaced by Anju Modi. Maxima Basu is the costume designer for Ranveer Singh and rest of the principal cast. Maxima Basu has previously designed costumes for Peepli Live. Priyanka Chopra was confirmed for a special song in the film.
Controversy
Several religious groups opposed the movie claiming that the movie title was misleading as the movie had nothing to do with Lord Rama. A local court in Mumbai has issued an "ex-parte ad-interim stay" over the use of term Ram Leela in the movie title. A Delhi court, on 12th November, stayed the release of the movie "Ram-leela", starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The movie is scheduled to be released Nov 15.
Additional District Judge A.S. Jayachandra, in an ex-parte interim order, restrained the movie's director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Eros promoters from releasing the movie till further orders. The court's order came on a suit filed by six petitioners, including Prabhu Samaj Dharmik Ram Leela Committee, saying the movie hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus as it contains sex, violence and vulgarity. The plea said the word "Ram Leela" is associated with Lord Rama and people will also watch this movie with an expectation that it would be related to his life but the film will hurt their sentiments.
It added that the name of the movie should be changed as it has nothing to do with mythology and is misleading.
The title "Ram-leela", understood by Hindus as enactment of the life and story of Lord Ram (Maryada Purushottam), is nowhere doing the same. On the contrary, the film is portraying sex, violence and vulgarity, which is deeply hurting the religious sentiments and feelings of Hindus, the petitioners said.

The album received immense critical appreciation.
Subhash K. Jha of Tellychakkar gave the album stars saying, "The 10 songs of Ram Leela (yessss, there are that many tunes, and no one is complaining) are creations of spellbinding beauty." He wrote, "For those of us who had given up on film music as an aaya-ram-gaya-ram experience Ram Leela delivers. And how! Honestly, if God lies in the details then the songs of Ram Leela are conversations with divinity."
Mohar Basu of Koimoi gave the album stars commenting, "Bhansali’s artistic finickiness is something that shows even in his music. He is neat with his tunes and creates soulful sounds with visible conviction. Perhaps the songs won’t hit you well in the first shot, but with the lapse of a few loops, it will be hard to take off the songs from your playlist. The album is one of the best of this year and it resounds with near perfect mystical rendition. I am going with a 4/5 and recommending that you don’t miss this little masterpiece of an album!"
Daily News and Analysis gave the album stars and wrote, "Packed with 10 culturally nourished songs, the Ram-Leela soundtrack has no remix or reprised version, but it's a feast for music lovers. Director Zoya Akhtar, known for making many a magum-opus, adds grandeur to the album with her compositions but at the same time gives enough space to the singers to shine."
Yashika Mathur of Business Standard observed, "The strong point of the "Ram-Leela" album is the soft romantic songs. Bhansali has put his best 'musical' foot forward. It deserves to be heard and enjoyed." She gave it stars.
Bollywood Life also awarded the soundtrack stars writing, "Feel SLB’s artistic impulse in almost every song in Ram-Leela and give it a repeat listen to explore the mystical charms of the soulful music. In a nutshell, this is a gem of an album, a loveable experience that should not be missed…."
Giving the album stars, Mitesh Saraf of Planet Bollywood stating, "this is one of the finest soundtracks to come this year with some magical tunes that portrays pure traditional Indian music rather than depending on Western arrangements. In short, all the songs results in a charming, delightful and sensuous experience!"
Joginder Tuteja of Rediff.com noted, "With just about everything working for the music of Ram Leela, what with classical, folk, fusion as well as contemporary sound finding their place under the sun, Bhansali makes sure that the soundtrack stands out from the clutter of some below average music of some notable biggies that have been making the rounds." He gave the album stars.
