Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced his OTT debut with Heeramandi, fans just can’t keep calm. They are eagerly waiting to witness the magic that he has put on screen. Earlier, the first look of Richa Chadha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sonakshi Sinha and Sharmin Segal piqued interest. Now, Netflix has released posters of Heeramandi and the characters look magnificent. They ooze royalty and charm and each poster had SLB’s magic.
The series is about arch nemeses Mallikajaan and Fareedan are locked in a battle for succession of Heeramandi, where courtesans reign as queens. The only hope is young Alam, Mallikajaan’s youngest daughter. But what happens when Alam relinquishes power and chooses the love of one man over the adulation of many? It is set in pre-independent India against the backdrop of the freedom movement. Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is an epic saga of love, power, betrayal, struggle and, ultimately, freedom.

Thrilled with the audience’s response to the first look, Prerna Singh, CEO at Bhansali Productions, expressed, “As makers, the aspect of storytelling which we enjoy the most is being able to portray characters that are profound and flawed in their own way. I have viewers empathize with them regardless. Very soon, the doors to Heeramandi will open to one and all. And you will get to see the magic that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has created with Heeramandi.”
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Heeramandi release date has not been announced but it will stream on Netflix.
