“Can’t get enough of Heeramandi?” Neither can Netflix India, according to their newest post on Instagram. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, which clocked 8.5 million views in 12 days, has officially been renewed for a second season. Starring Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal Mehta and Taha Shah Badussha, the series has been a topic of conversation since its release on May 1. It follows the lives of a group of courtesans against the backdrop of the Independence Movement.
“In Heeramandi 2, the women now come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition and most of them settle in the Mumbai film industry or Kolkata film industry. So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning, let’s see where it goes,” said Bhansali to Variety.
