Netflix India released the teaser for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming web series Heeramandi. Netflix took to Instagram to share a brief clip featuring the main characters. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is making his web series debut with Heeramandi.
The introductory video begins with text that informs viewers about what to expect from the web show. “Sanjay Leela Bhansali invites you to a world where courtesans were queens,” the video said.
Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Sonakshi Sinha are among the actors featured in the video. All of the actors are dressed in mustard and seated next to one another. Sonakshi, the only one standing among them, did a salaam while looking at the camera.
Netflix also posted another clip, giving a glimpse of the characters dressed in black outfits. It captioned the post, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s grandeur combined with their awe-inspiring talent and elegance. Tell us a more iconic duo, we’ll wait! #Heeramandi is coming soon, only on Netflix!”
The web series will investigate courtesan stories and the hidden cultural reality of Heeramandi, a dazzling district in pre-independence India. It’s a series about love, betrayal, succession, and politics in the kothas, with Bhansali’s signature larger-than-life sets, multi-faceted characters, and soulful compositions.
“Heeramandi represents a significant turning point in my career as a filmmaker. This is an epic, first-of-its-kind series about Lahore’s courtesans. Because it is an ambitious, grand, and all-encompassing series, I am both nervous and excited about making it. I am excited to collaborate with Netflix and bring Heeramandi to audiences all over the world,” Bhansali said.
