Having a blast judging 'The X-Factor': Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is enjoying his small screen stint as a judge on Sony TV's singing reality show 'The X-Factor'.

'I'm having a blast judging the show and I'm thrilled it's doing extremely well. It's a fabulously mounted show. I loved the way it's being presented. I was taken aback by seeing the mounting, because I haven't seen this kind of scale, commitment, planning and preparation in television,' said Bhansali who had judged the first season of 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'

The show is showing a different side of the filmmaker who is otherwise considered to be a recluse, said a source.

'Audiences are shocked to see the new side of Bhansali... the show is introducing audiences to a more accessible, warm and encouraging Bhansali. His presence on the panel is doing a lot of good for the show,' the source added.

The judges panel also includes Sonu Niigaam and Shreya Ghoshal.
