Heeramandi: Nikhil Advani Wishes To See Sanjay Leela Bhansali At The Emmys
¡°I have been shooting in places like Khejarla, Patiala, the amount of exposure that the audience in India has to the West, I don¡¯t think Indian diaspora has. What they want to watch is the mythos. They still want their children to go to Bhagvad Geeta classes. So when they suddenly see a big film, with a big Indian actor challenging that, they reject it,¡± he said i an interview with Film Companion.
Nikhil mentioned the Korean series Squid Game in response to a question on Indian OTT shows attempting to enter the international market. He claimed that none of the Indian shows had yet to achieve the same degree of success abroad. Heeramandi, however, has the potential to be that Indian hit, he continued.
¡°Why are we not doing Squid Games numbers? People who are watching Family Man are there, it¡¯s there on your platform, it¡¯s there on your service. I think what will break everything is Heeramandi, globally,¡± he said.
He also added, ¡°After Padmaavat the Indian diaspora was doing ghoomar in San Francisco.¡±
¡°Now, the West will watch because what is it that we have? We have snake charmers and elephants, right? Unfortunately, we have been the country of snake charmers. But foreigners want that only. They still come in for exotica. RRR was an exotica,¡± said Nikhil.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.will star Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chaddha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Manisha Koirala, and Sharmin Segal.
