Bhansali: Almost lost Heeramandi script to David Dhawan

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' marks his debut on OTT platforms after nearly two decades of anticipation. Set in pre-independence India, the series delves into the lives of courtesans in Lahore's Heeramandi neighborhood, exploring themes of love, betrayal, politics, and survival. Bhansali's transition to digital streaming has stirred significant excitement, given his reputation for grand and visually stunning films. Bhansali's journey with 'Heeramandi' faced challenges, including an initial dismissal of the script and threats of losing the project to David Dhawan. However, a pivotal meeting with Netflix's CEO in Los Angeles, lasting just five minutes, greenlit the project.
