Revealing details about the same, a well-placed industry source informed Bollywood Hungama: “Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted Rekha to play a prominent role in heeramandi. However, the actress was reluctant to appear on the series and talks between the two soon fell apart. However, SLB has not given up on the idea of having Rekha in heeramandi. As it stands now, Bhansali is still in talks with Rekha, but this time for a much smaller part.” Ask for details of what Bhansali has planned for the actress and the source continues: “Bhansali is currently in talks with Rekha to perform at least one special song sequence. He is convinced that Rekha will appear in heeramandi even for a small part.”
While the conversations between the two continue, the show itself will explore the cultural reality of heeramandia dazzling district, through the stories of courtesans and their patrons against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1940s Indian freedom struggle.
