B-town divas represent Bhansali’s visual odyssey to Lahore’s courtesans in Heeramandi

Bollywood actors (from left to right) Sharmin Segal, Richa Chadha, Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari and Sanjeeda Sheikh during an event for their upcoming television series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, in Mumbai on Thursday.


“It was great to reunite with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after a gap of 25 years,” actor Manisha Koirala said on Thursday as Netflix India unveiled the character posters of the filmmaker’s ambitious web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.

 

Bhansali, known for lavishly mounted feature films such as Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, is set to make his long-format debut with Netflix’s Heermandi.

 

Koirala, who plays Mallikajaan in the upcoming eight-part period drama set during the freedom struggle movement in India, worked with Bhansali in his feature directorial debut Khamoshi: The Musical (1996).

 

At the Next on Netflix India event, the actor said Heeramandi has turned out well and the team is “dying to show it” to fans.

 

“We all have tried to do our best because we were working with a master. To be working with Sanjay 25 years after his first film, Khamoshi, it can’t get better than Heeramandi.

 

Billed as a visual odyssey, Heeramandi brings together a powerhouse of talent and a magnificent world promising to immerse audiences in a tale of power, love and freedom set against the backdrop of pre-independent India.

 

Heeramandi also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Segal, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sanjeeda Shaikh.

 

Chadha said anyone can create beautiful costumes but only Bhansali can make an actor take eight rounds, sit and aesthetically drop a tear from the left of one’s eye while wearing a lehenga worth 30 kg. The actor, who previously worked with in the 2013 film Ram-Leela", plays Lajjo in Heeramandi.

 

Working with Bhansali has been a wonderful dream, said Hydari. They earlier collaborated on 2018’s Padmaavat.

 

Prerna Singh, CEO Bhansali Productions, said they have a great show in their hands.

 

“Working with Sanjay sir is life altering… I can’t even describe it… What I find incredible is that his soul goes into everything he does. He lives and breathes it… In the pushing and challenges he throws at you, there is so much trying…. I love it,” Singh added.
