Talking about it, Bhansali earlier said, "This is an epic, first-of-its-kind series based on the courtesans of Lahore. It is an ambitious, grand and all-encompassing series; therefore I am nervous yet excited about making it. I am looking forward to my partnership with Netflix and bringing Heeramandi to audiences all over the world."
The makers described the show as "a mix of love, betrayal, succession, and politics in the kothas (house of courtesans)."
'Heeramandi' will be out on OTT this year.
