During a recent interview, Netflix’s top official Bela Bajaria has revealed an interesting story. She said that famous film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali had shown me the script. That script was Hiramandi: The Diamond Bazaar web series. Then initially I felt as if Bhansali was telling me not to do it
He further said that Bhansali ji had given us a very wonderful script but from his words it seemed that he was trying to say that this is what I am showing, this is not in your control, this thing seemed like a challenge for me
Bela believes that Bhansali ji’s work is very special and big, his creativity is always unique, so his script was very important for me
When Bhansali showed me the set and story of Heera Mandi, I was very impressed and immediately decided that I will definitely make it on Netflix
The web series Heera Mandi was a historical drama which was made based on the world of tawaifs during the freedom struggle of India. The web series became a topic of discussion as soon as it was released and people liked it a lot.
