Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is slated to release on May 1. The trailer was released earlier this month and it transported fans to a time when courtesans reigned as monarchs. Through the stories of courtesans and their clients, set against the turbulent backdrop of the Indian Independence struggle in the 1940s, the series investigates the cultural reality of the namesake area of Heera Mandi.
Besides Manisha, Sonakshi, Aditi, Richa, Sharmin and Sanjeeda, who star as tawaifs, the series also stars Fardeen Khan, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman play the roles of the Nawabs. Netflix India hosted a grand premiere earlier this month and several stars such as Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Rekha and Genelia Deshmukh, among others, attended the premiere.
