After a remarkable journey spanning two and a half decades, Manisha Koirala and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have joined forces once again for the highly anticipated OTT series, ‘Heeramandi – The Diamond Market.’ This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in their illustrious careers, as they first crossed paths in 1994 during the filming of ‘1942 A Love Story.’
Bhansali’s directorial debut, ‘Khamoshi – The Musical,’ further cemented their connection. However, it would be nearly three decades before they would reunite on screen for ‘Heeramandi.’ Koirala, known for her versatility and fearless performances, embraces a captivating negative role in the series.
Speaking about her experience, Koirala expressed her delight at receiving an unexpected offer from Bhansali while enjoying a tranquil retreat in Nepal. She described the character as a beautiful gift and acknowledged Bhansali’s unwavering passion for cinema.
Despite the passage of time, Koirala believes that Bhansali’s essence remains unchanged, characterized by his unwavering dedication to the art form. She views her role in ‘Heeramandi’ as a catalyst for artistic growth, allowing her to explore uncharted territories and push the boundaries of her craft.
