- Koirala believes streaming platforms are game-changers and that they empower new filmmakers and ideas.
- Netflix India and Sanjay Leela Bhansali collaborated on an Instagram reveal to announce “Heeramandi 2”.
Bollywood legend Manisha Koirala made a remarkable comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Heeramandi”, and with the exciting announcement of its second season, fans couldn’t contain their excitement. Now, the actress has revealed that the highly anticipated sequel will begin filming next year.
In a recent conversation, Manisha Koirala shared an exciting update on “Heeramandi 2”, saying, “The shoot will begin next year. We are all waiting to be back.”
When asked if the success of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s series had opened doors to more opportunities for her, the actress smiled knowingly and responded that while a few scripts are under consideration, she can only share details once a project is finalized.
Manisha also opened up about the warnings she received before venturing into the OTT space, drawing parallels to her early days in the film industry. She shared how people initially doubt and caution newcomers, only to later applaud their success.
Reflecting on her own journey, she recalled how, 30 years ago, people believed the film industry was full of negativity and bad influences. Due to the prevalence of yellow journalism, the narrative often got distorted, making it difficult for “a good family’s daughter” to find her place in such an environment.
The actress further reflected on how those same people who had once doubted her quickly praised her after the success of films like “Saudagar” and others. She noted that this pattern is common with anything new or unfamiliar, driven by preconceived notions and judgments.
Once her work proved itself, the same critics became admirers, demonstrating how public perception can change when success speaks for itself.
Manisha Koirala expressed that she never doubted “Heeramandi” or the OTT space. She emphasized that her confidence came not only from her admiration for Sanjay Leela Bhansali but also from her belief that streaming platforms were game-changers.
She saw OTT as a space that empowers new filmmakers, writers, and ideas, making it the perfect platform for innovative storytelling. This conviction led her to truly believe in both the project and the potential of digital media.
Earlier, Netflix India and Sanjay Leela Bhansali collaborated on an exciting Instagram reveal to announce the highly anticipated “Heeramandi 2”. The post featured a lively video capturing a troupe of dancers performing on Mumbai’s iconic Carter Road. Dressed in sparkling Anarkalis and ghungroos, they embodied the essence of the series, setting the stage for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, “Heeramandi” Season 1 features a stellar ensemble cast, including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, Sharmin Segal, Taha Shah, and others.
