#Heeramandi is all things beauty. How can it not be when it’s #SanjayLeelaBhansali’s master project?But, it’s not #GangubaiKathiawadi. If it’s power, betrayal, love, rebellion and beauty - Gangubai will be always be his best. #HeeraMandiOnNetflix #HeeramandiReview #Netflix pic.twitter.com/O06L9ErSeW

Reflecting on the project's journey, Bhansali revealed, "The script for Heeramandi was charming, vast, and epic. The story was too long for a film, and I had the concept 18 years ago, but there were no OTT platforms then. I finally saw an opportunity to do it properly on an OTT platform, where you can develop it and enjoy each character. This story has taken the longest—18 years of nurturing, cherishing, and living it.”
Bhansali continued “Working with Netflix on my first series was a completely different experience. In 30 years of my career, I have never met producers as beautiful as them. They are tough, and relentless, and ask for honest directors to create content with the same passion. It's good karma as a filmmaker to meet such producers, and I'm grateful to them."
