Manisha Koirala Overcome with Awe on Initial Visit to Grand 'Heeramandi' Set

 

Veteran actress Manisha Koirala is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated web series, *Heeramandi*. Directed by the acclaimed Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the series promises to be a visual spectacle, steeped in Bhansali's signature grandeur. Koirala recently opened up about her experience on the sets of *Heeramandi*, revealing that she was left awestruck during her initial visit.

Bhansali, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and opulent set design, has recreated the world of pre-independence India's courtesans in *Heeramandi*. Stepping onto the meticulously crafted set for the first time was a truly overwhelming experience for Koirala. In a recent interview, she described feeling "shaken" as the elaborate set design and the grandeur of the entire production sunk in.

"I became so nervous because it hit me that I am going to be part of this," Koirala said, vividly recalling her initial reaction. The intricate details and sheer scale of the production evidently instilled a sense of awe and perhaps even a tinge of intimidation in the seasoned actress.

Koirala further elaborated, "I couldn't tell him [Bhansali] that I was shaking because I was so much in awe of the whole environment."  She amusingly confessed to holding back from revealing the true extent of her nervousness to the director. The captivating atmosphere and the grandiosity of the set must have been truly awe-inspiring to elicit such a response from a celebrated actress like Koirala.

*Heeramandi* will showcase Bhansali's mastery of storytelling as it weaves tales of love, betrayal, and the lives of courtesans against the backdrop of pre-colonial India. Koirala portrays the character of Mallikajaan in the series, which is set to premiere on Netflix on May 1st.

Bhansali's directorial brilliance, coupled with Koirala's talent and the captivating historical setting, has generated immense anticipation for *Heeramandi*. Koirala's initial reaction to the sets offers a glimpse into the meticulous world Bhansali has crafted for the series. With its promise of grandeur, intricate storytelling, and stellar performances, *Heeramandi* is poised to be a must-watch for fans of historical dramas and Bhansali's signature style.
