Renowned filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali certainly does not need an introduction. His masterwork has transcended all boundaries of film-making and offered the audience some amazing films like 'Gangubhai Kathiawadi', 'Padmaavat' and many more. His films were studded with some path-breaking performances from the actors. One such film 'Khamoshi: The Musical' by the filmmaker featured prolific actress Manisha Koirala.

Bhansali's upcoming web-series 'Heeramandi', dives deeper into the world of the courtesan, where they were the queens. Manisha Koirala who will be seen playing a pivotal role in the series will be coming back on the screen with the director after two decades. Having always proved to be a major turning point in her career, Manisha Koirala recalled how she is very delighted to be a part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films. She said, “Sanjay is somebody with whom I worked in ‘Khamoshi’ and there was a long gap but we stayed in touch. We have a deep friendship bond, which is not limited to work. I have a deep-rooted respect for him because he is one filmmaker, who has improved with every film and it is because of his work ethics, which nobody can match,”
