Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced his magnum opus Heeramandi, there has been much speculation about its cast. Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha and Richa Chadha are said to front the Netflix project that revolves around courtesans in the Lahore district in pre-Independence India. Now, mid-day has it that Wamiqa Gabbi is the latest addition to the cast.
The web series reportedly features Sinha, Koirala and Chadha
The Punjabi actor caught the attention of many with her performance in Grahan earlier this year. “Wamiqa recently completed the shoot of Anushka Sharma-backed Mai. Her performance in the series assured the suits at Netflix as well as Bhansali that she could be a fitting addition to Heeramandi. She is expected to begin her prep soon.
True to the auteur’s style, his maiden web series will focus on strong women characters, and is said to have 10 actresses in pivotal parts. The project will have extravagant dance-offs,” says a source. Juhi Chawla is also rumoured to play an integral role.
