Heeramandi First Look Out: Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set for his OTT debut with Heeramandi, which will premiere on Netflix in 2024. After offering audiences grandeurs like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Black, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, and Gangubai Kathiawadi, the master storyteller is bringing another grand-scale epic led by female actors.
Step into the world of Heeramandi, where courtesans were once queens. Have a look at the first-look video here:
In the midst of a power struggle in Heeramandi, a young heir caught in the crossfire chooses love over succession, disrupting the status quo. Set in pre-independent India against a burgeoning freedom movement, the final thread holding the art of tawaaifs (courtesans) is put to the test. Hailed as the grandest series of the year, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi is set to unveil his 14-year-passionate project.
The series promises to be a profound celebration of art, culture, beauty, and Bhansali’s legacy. In this video, we can see SLB-style grand sets, expensive costumes, high-quality production design, melodious music, aesthetics, and cultural references to a certain community. One may dislike his choices of stories, but not his larger-than-life vision to present stories on the big screen. This time, he will be doing it for the small screen, so let's see how well he does in the OTT space.
Directed and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the series comprises an ensemble cast of Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Richa Chadha, and Sanjeeda Sheikh. The teaser, trailer, and release date for Heeramandi will be out soon.
