Be it Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, or even Padmavat and Gangubai Kathiawadi that came a while back, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is one such filmmaker.
Taking OTT to the next level, Sanjay Leela Bhansali now comes up with 'Hira Mandi', a tale of love and betrayal in the lives of courtesans in pre-independence India, that too in his signature style. In style, which will transport you to a world where queens used to be prostitutes. At the same time, audiences have come to expect that distinctive look - rich in detail and heavy use of Indian textiles, artwork, color, and texture - without knowing the setting or the story.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always chosen to work in secret and with passion until he himself was ready to present it to the world. At the same time, according to information received from a source, a huge set of about 1,60,000 square feet has been built for this series. The directors are personally looking into every minute detail of it. From the actor's look to the finer details of the set and the art design, he is overseeing everything. He even keeps a sharp eye on lighting with each scene that captures a distinct visual vignette.
Describing 'Heera Mandi' as his most ambitious project to date, Sanjay Leela Bhansali brings twice the passion and scale to the series than his iconic films.
