• Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh star in Baiju Bawra.
• Director just released the first image of Heeramandi.

One of the most adored filmmakers, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, always has a lot of excitement surrounding his next films. In fact, the unconventional director just released the first image of Heeramandi, a web series supported by Netflix, which attracted a lot of attention. SLB spoke candidly about moving this huge endeavour to a digital platform during the launch ceremony.

“I make big films and that comes naturally to me. But when I came to OTT I made something bigger, it’s my biggest project yet. So I didn’t have to adapt to the digital medium, this will be like watching a film. So there is no holding back or trying to do something different for OTT. I made eight episodes for this, and it’s so demanding, I am constantly working on the script. You have to spend more hours than you do for films, but all of us are truly enjoying it a lot,” Bhansali said.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has begun work on his next film, Baiju Bawra, which stars Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, while Heeramandi is now shooting its final segment in Mumbai.

“Since the subject is very close to Mr Bhansali, he has been working on it for a long time, and has already created a strong script for the film. However, prep from the shoot perspective has also begun, as he plans to take Baiju Bawra on floors from mid this year. June or July is what they are looking at. Requests for his actors’ dates have already gone to them. A large portion of the film will be shot on sets in Mumbai, and construction will begin after the final dates are locked,” informs a source close to the development.

It’s interesting to note that Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and Gully Boy were Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh‘s first two collaborations. After Gangubai Kathiawadi, the actress will work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali again on Baiju Bawra, making this the director’s fourth collaboration with Ranveer following Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat.
