Anticipation Builds for Heeramandi 2
During a recent interview, Manisha shared, “The shoot will begin next year. We are all waiting to be back.” The announcement has left fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of Bhansali’s masterful storytelling, which combines intricate drama with breathtaking visuals.
Riding the Wave of Success
Manisha was also asked if Heeramandi had brought new opportunities her way. While she hinted at several projects under consideration, she refrained from divulging specifics, leaving her fans curious about what’s next.
Parallels to Her Early Days
Manisha reflected on her journey in the entertainment industry, comparing the skepticism she faced in her Bollywood debut to the warnings she received before joining the OTT space. “People always caution you about the unknown. Thirty years ago, they said the film industry wasn’t for people from good families,” she recalled.
She noted how this narrative shifted after the success of her early films, with skeptics becoming her biggest admirers. The same dynamic played out with her decision to embrace digital platforms.
Confidence in Digital Storytelling
Manisha expressed unwavering faith in OTT platforms, calling them a “game-changer” for filmmakers, writers, and actors. “The freedom and creativity these platforms allow are unmatched. Heeramandi was a testament to this innovation,” she said.
A Grand Tease for Fans
Netflix India and Sanjay Leela Bhansali celebrated the announcement of Heeramandi 2 with a dazzling video on Instagram. The clip featured dancers in elaborate Anarkalis performing against the backdrop of Mumbai’s Carter Road, a tribute to the series’ grandeur.
The first season of Heeramandi boasted an ensemble cast including Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, and Fardeen Khan, alongside Manisha. Fans are now counting down the days until they can revisit Bhansali’s mesmerizing world.
