Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar marks the OTT debut of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. A few days ago, the filmmaker described the series as his “biggest project.” He said, “I’ve made big films, I enjoy making those big-scale films, and it comes naturally to me. But while shifting to digital, I’ve taken it up a notch. Heeramandi is my biggest project; I wanted to make it really special, and I have surprised myself with this one.”
“This is not just a series; it’s a world, and I am eager for audiences worldwide to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Heeramandi on Netflix,” Sanjay Leela Bhansali added.
In an earlier statement, Sanjay Leela Bhansali expressed, “This is an epic, first-of-its-kind series based on the courtesans of Lahore. It is an ambitious, grand and all-encompassing series; therefore I am nervous yet excited about making it. I am looking forward to my partnership with Netflix and bringing Heeramandi to audiences all over the world.”
