On August 10, 2021, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali completed 25 years in the cinematic world. And guess what this day was celebrated with a piece of extravagant news. The filmmaker announced his much talked about project Heeramandi, to be premiered on OTT giant, Netflix on its completion. The show will showcase stories of courtesans and unknown cultural aspects of Heeramandi, Lahore. It is said to be set in the pre-independence India era.
Now as per reports in TellyChakkar.com, this ambitious project of SLB will be reuniting two magnificent stars of Bollywood. Madhuri Dixit and Rekha are speculated to reunite with Heeramandi and will be seen in pivotal roles.
