Ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for his extravagant sets turns 61 on February 24. Besides the grandeur, what distinguishes him from the rest is his choice of actors who partake in his magnum opus celluloid. Not many can survive the meticulous process of Bhansali, but those who have stood the test of time, have remained to reap the fruits by sustaining in the limelight. As we approach another project in the form of his OTT debut - ‘Heeramandi’ which will be released on Netflix, here’s looking at how the filmmaker retains his muses from time to time.
Manisha Koirala, who is returning after ‘Khamoshi: The Musical’ (1996), will play a key role in ‘Heeramandi’ among other actors.
