Heeramandi is an upcoming web series. The story of the series revolves around the Life story of three generations of courtesans in Heera mandi, a dazzling district, during pre-independent India.
The series is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He offered veteran actress Mumtaz to be part of the series but Mumtaz rejected it by saying that it will need her to do dance sequences and her husband won’t permit her to do so at this age. Richa Chadha is an Indian actress, producer, and political activist who works in Hindi cinema.
In a conversation with Richa Chadha, the actress said, “For Heeramandi, I had a really tough time because the thing with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is you cannot lie. Wo aapki annkhon mein jhooth pakad lete hain. He is a master. So he will know ki ‘kar diya, achha hai, technically theek hai. Par dil se nahi aaya. Mujhe aise aana chahiye.’”
She further said, “And that’s why I love working with him because he pushes me. And it’s terrifying. Sometimes I’m wearing the mic under the dress. Sound wala aake bolega awaaz aa rahi hai. I’m like ‘It’s my heartbeat. What to do. I have to do a tough shot, it’s my heartbeat. Main dar rahi hu, isliye dhak dhak ho raha hai.’ But yeah, I love working with people who push me in that manner.”
Upon working with Sanjay Leela Bansali the actress said, “If I was in his shoes, I’d probably be doing what he is doing. Because there’s so much money riding on it.”
The actress also revealed that “He will want that 75 to 100 percent. And he will understand that every day is not 100 percent. But he will tell you ye 75 hai, main iss take ka 75, us take ka 90 leke tera 85 tak pohocha dunga. But aap us orientation se nahi aa sakte ‘I have a headache,’ or ‘main aaj nahi kar paungi’. Wo sab nahi chalta hai.”
