Sanjay Leela Bhansali, a famous Indian movie director, recently launched the first look of his upcoming web series, Heeramandi.This web series has a star-studded cast of actresses such as Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditi Rao Hydari.
Bhansali revealed that his new project ‘Heeramandi’ has been the most challenging project of his career so far.According to him, each episode of the series is like making a full-length movie, and there are eight different episodes in total.Despite the size of the screen, Bhansali said that he did not make any compromises in the filmmaking process.
During a media interaction at the first look event, Bhansali shared how people advised him against making his previous movie, Gangubai Kathiawadi, which did not feature a male lead but went on to become a commercial success with Alia Bhatt in the lead role.
Bhansali also spoke about the unpredictable nature of the Indian audience and how, post-pandemic, it is difficult to understand their changing preferences.He believes that filmmakers should take risks and offer new subjects to the audience rather than assuming what they want to see.He also shared that Gangubai Kathiawadi worked despite being a woman-centric film and without a male lead, which is what filmmakers need to do – take a chance and change the audience’s perception.
The first look of Heeramandi has been well received by the audience, with Netflix sharing a glimpse of the beautiful and intriguing world created by Bhansali.
The web series is set to release soon, and fans can’t wait to see the talented actresses bring the director’s vision to life on the big screen.
