Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the success Heeramandi: It's a piece that somehow brings us all together

A man who had a great potential then and passionate about cinema and lived for cinema. And he’s the same Sanjay even now. He’s not really changed. I mean, as a person. Of course the perception of him and the kind of work he’s done is far more elaborate and far more bigger and all that. But he still is the same man. I was four years old when Devdas was made. I was 18 years old when I rewatched Devdas and understood, Oh my God, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is my Mama. The happy part was that he casted me on TV. Ma’am. Everyone would just talk about the cha dance. I also thought I’d consume it. But with Sir, I understood that I would do something and he would be like Nae Nae Hikni Kariye. Acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made headlines with his latest venture, Deeramandi The Diamond Bazaar, a recently released series that explores the lives of Tawayafs and Lahore. And in a recent interview with Indie Wire, Bhansali discussed his decision to tell the story, Emphasizing his belief in the unity of India and Pakistan, Bhansali expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support he received from Pakistan audiences, highlighting the show’s ability to bring people together despite the political tensions, Bhansali said. And I quote it’s a piece that somehow brings us all together. When all of India was one, it was undivided. These people belong to us as much as they belong to them. Despite the sensitive nature of the subject matter, Bhansali revealed that he encountered no significant negative response while creating Hiramandir. The absence of non-muslim or Sikh characters of note did not deter him as he believes in the universal appeal of his work. There are things in the characters that connect to people in my work. That is why they talk about it, explains Bhansali. Hiramandi premiered on May 1. Too much anticipation boasting a star-studded cast including Manisha Koraila, Aditi Rao Haidri, Sharmin Segal, Tasha Badusha, Shekhar Suman, Adhiram Suman and more the.
