Sanjay Leela Bhansali NOT reshooting ‘Heeramandi’: There is no truth to these mischievous rumours

Amidst buzz around Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s highly anticipated web series ‘Heeramandi‘, rumours were rife that the director has ordered a re-shoot of some scenes. The reports went as far as stating that the reshoots would probably lead to a delayed release of the series. However, sources close to the production have now rubbished the claims.
Reports doing the rounds online claimed that the director was not happy with some of the scenes shot by some of the directors involved in the project and insisted on reshooting them. However, in a statement to ETimes, a source close to the shooting of Heeramandi shared, “There is no truth to these mischievous rumours. There is no re-shoot. SLB is a perfectionist and goes into details of things but he is very happy with everything.”

The report gave way to rumours that the series could face a possible delay in its release owing to the reshoots, thus becoming a cause of concern to the producers.
The series explores the cultural reality of ‘Heeramandi’, a dazzling district, through the stories of courtesans and their patrons set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s. It stars Richa Chaddha, Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari and Sanjeeda Sheikh. The director dropped the first look poster of the series early this year and left fans intrigued and eagerly anticipating its release.
