Much like the pattern seen with other Sanjay Leela Bhansali endeavors, which often become embroiled in controversies, whether with groups like Karni Sena or over allegations of historical inaccuracies, his latest release, Heeramandi, has generated considerable buzz, just as anticipated. Despite a 14-year development journey and changes in casting, the highly awaited show continues to captivate discussions even two weeks after its debut. While the show had a satisfying ending, will there be a season 2??
During a conversation with IMDB, the ace director known for his grand vision and opulent sets, spilled the beans on the fact that he will consider making a sequel of the show. Bhansali revealed the process of making this eight-part series was so taxing that he wouldn't want to do it again. "We have made it, I have enjoyed making it, and I am thankful to God that we made it. It was a very difficult project. Nobody else will ever be able to make Heeramandi again, nor will I be able to make it again, because it happens once." Bhansali has thus clarified that there won't be a?Heeramandi sequel.
Talking about the show, the most expensive Indian original Netflix show, which opened to mixed reviews, he explained his fascination for the story, he said, "The plight of the courtesans, they were queens also, but they had personal angst. They have personal joys and celebrations, but there¡¯s sadness and pathos. All of this has to be felt in the architecture. The set has to come alive, when the actor walks in, it has to come alive. When the cameraman lights it, it has to come alive. I would want a certain kind of textile, and it comes alive when the cameraman lights it and the actor wears it. It¡¯s very important to create a certain atmosphere. I would want a certain kind of music playing non-stop, constantly on the set.
