Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Manisha Koirala collaborated for the first time when he directed songs for Vidhu Vinod Chopra바카라™ magnum opus 바카라˜1942 A Love Story바카라™. Manisha then played the female lead in Bhansali바카라™s directorial debut 바카라˜Khamoshi-The Musical바카라™ in 1996. The film, which also starred Salman Khan, went on to garner critical acclaim. Now after a long gap of 28 years, Manisha and SLB are reuniting for Bhansali바카라™s debut OTT debut on Netflix, 바카라˜Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar바카라™. 

Of course, there바카라™s a massive difference between 바카라˜Khamoshi바카라™ and 바카라˜Heeramandi바카라™, in terms of the sets, the style of filmmaking, the sets, the costumes and much more. From 바카라˜Khamoshi바카라™ to films like 바카라˜Devdas바카라™ and 바카라˜Padmaavat바카라™ among others, SLB바카라™s films have become bigger and better, and more opulent. 

When Manisha was asked about the difference she felt while working with Bhansali on 바카라˜Khamoshi바카라™ and now 바카라˜Heeramandi바카라™, she exclusively told Outlook India, 바카라œBasically, Khamoshi was shot beautifully and it was a sensitive topic to deal with. It is one of my best films till date. Bombay, Dil Se, Khomoshi 바카라“ they all come in that category for me, and is one of my favorite films. Over the time, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made bigger films with opulence and grandeur, and so beautiful. I loved Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, it had some beautiful moments. But Heeramandi is a mega project, in that sense with so much drama. Coming to his style, he is a great filmmaker and he has a lot more in him that he has showcased till date.바카라

In 바카라˜Heeramandi바카라™, Manisha plays Mallikajaan, the head of a house of courtesans in pre-Independence India, and has dark shades to her character. She added, 바카라œIf you see his art, he has done Khamoshi on one level and Heeramandi on another level. Both the places, he바카라™s scored 100 out of 100. In my eyes, a lot more will come out in future, and the way he pays attention to details, whether in performance or art decor, jewelry, makeup 바카라“ he has got more sense than all of us.바카라

Manisha further showered praise on the filmmaker, and said, 바카라œHe eats, breathes, and sleeps cinema and is constantly creating. He is the first one on the set and the last one to leave. For him, his life is cinema, he is constantly bettering himself, and constantly pushing him and other people to excel. We all are enamoured by his capacity, and he would manage to shock us and awe us every time.바카라

Lastly, she shared her key takeaway from 바카라˜Heeramandi바카라™ and the Bhansali set, and signed off, 바카라œHe never gives up till what he believes is a perfect shot. I would take this with me in my next project, in my life. Never say no until you are satisfied that this is your best.바카라

바카라˜Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar바카라™, which also features Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sonakshi Sinha, and Aditi Rao Hydari, is set amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian Independence movement against the British Raj while narrating the lives of tawaifs in the red-light district of Heera Mandi in Lahore.
