He said, “I’ve made big films, I enjoy making those big-scale films as it comes naturally to me. But while shifting to digital, I’ve taken it up a notch. ‘Heeramandi’ is my biggest project; I wanted to make it really special, and I have surprised myself with this one,” he said.
“This is not just a series; it’s a world, and I am eager for audiences worldwide to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of ‘Heeramandi’ on Netflix,” Bhansali added.
