Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Insights
Speaking about the new season, Sanjay Leela Bhansali shared the immense effort behind creating the series. He stated, "It takes a lot to make a series. This one has taken a lot. After Gangubai, from that to now, every single day I have worked without a break. So the responsibility is huge on the series."
New Storyline for Season 2
Bhansali also revealed some details about the storyline for Season 2. He said, “In Heeramandi 2, the women now come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition, and most of them settle in the Mumbai or Kolkata film industry. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for producers, not nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning.”
