Renowned director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and cinematographer Sudip Chatterjee have started shooting for their new project ‘Hiramandi’. Bhansali is going to enter the world of OTT through ‘Hiramandi’. ‘Hiramandi’ is a web series based in a red light area of Lahore, Pakistan and will be streamed on Netflix. Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari and Manisha Koirala will be seen in important roles in the series. According to reports, the evergreen actress Rekha will also be seen in an episode of this series.
Let us tell you that even before ‘Hiramandi’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has shown the story of sex worker in many films. Be it Chandramukhi in the film ‘Devdas’ or the film ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ released this year, they were also based on the same plot.
In a recent interview, Bhansali also spoke in detail about his personal life on the pretext of the film. They say that my childhood was also spent in chawl. When we used to come back home from school, we would often see women who lived there near the red light area, but their mother could not talk about it. Bhansali says that their faces tell all the stories.
What is the story of Hiramandi? Hiramandi is near the Badshahi Mosque in the Pakistani city of Lahore. There used to be a lot of fun here, but with the changing times, the mood here also changed. Before independence, when Pakistan and India used to be one, Hiramandi has existed since that time and at that time it was ruled by the Mughals.
Hiramandi, which was called the pride of the Mughals, used to have women doing music and mujra apart from sex workers at that time. But today the glory of Hiramandi has faded. Now the atmosphere here is not the same as before. As if Hiramandi had caught someone’s eye. Hiramandi revolves around this.
