The trailer for “Heeramandi” directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali has just been released. This highly anticipated series will premiere on Netflix starting May 1st.

The trailer for Heeramandi encapsulates the quintessential elements of a Bhansali production, promising an extravagant visual spectacle. This time, fans are in for a treat as it’s a web series, offering a deeper dive into the world it portrays. Heeramandi unfolds in a setting where ‘tawaifs’ wield significant influence over the visiting ‘nawabs.’ Against the backdrop of pre-independence India, amidst the burgeoning calls for ‘Inquilab,’ even the women of Heeramandi’s palaces find themselves drawn into the struggle for freedom.

 Manisha Koirala takes on the role of the matriarch overseeing the palace, where women are groomed in the arts of seduction through dance and song. Sonakshi Sinha portrays a rebel, determined to carve her own path and assert her individuality. Aditi Rao Hydari’s character emerges as a key figure in the fight for independence, leading a spirited uprising. Joining them are Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Fardeen Khan, each bringing their unique essence to the rich tapestry of Heeramandi’s narrative.
