Sanjay Leela Bhansali orders Heeramandi re-shoots, might delay release

According to India Today, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is apparently reshooting parts of his upcoming web series, Heeramandi. The period drama is currently being shot in Mumbai, with different directors shooting different episodes of the series.

Sources cited by India Today said, “Heeramandi’s different episodes are being directed by different directors who have worked under SLB previously. Bhansali is only directing major sequences for the series. However, recently, when SLB watched a few scenes from the episodes shot by other directors, he apparently was not happy.”

The show looks into the Heeramandi, a district, through the eyes of courtesans and set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle. Whether the reshoots will delay the show is still unclear.

The series stars Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sanjeeda Sheikh. Heeramandi will stream on Netflix when it releases.
