Sanjay Leela Bhansali announces season 2 of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar

Amid the reigning success of the much-awaited Sanjay Leela Bhansali series Heermandi: The Diamond Bazaar, which continues to make news, comes another interesting addition. The show has been renewed for a new season 2. Yes, it will continue to show the lives of courtesans but will now be focusing on the impact of the partition on Lahore and its tawaifs, and how they migrate to Indian film industry. However, if any of the actresses will be retained from the previous season is yet to be known.

In an interview with Variety Magazine, Sanjay Leela Bhansali shared his experience of shooting the magnum opus and also discussed about the challenges like lack of time etc. However, despite the immense amount of time the web-series will be taking, the filmmaker assured fans that he is indeed planning on a second season, and he was backed by the streaming platform Netflix. He explained the details of season 2 of Heeramandi, wherein he said, “In Heeramandi 2, the women now come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition and most of them settle in the Mumbai film industry or Kolkata film industry. So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning, let’s see where it goes.”

On June 3, the makers took to social media to officially announce the second season. A video was shot at Carter Road, Mumbai, where a dazzling flash mob of 100 dancers adorned in sparkling anarkalis (a traditional Indian gown) and ghungroos (anklets) danced to a medley of songs from the series. As the audience joined in singing along, the dancers delivered the exciting news about Season 2, leaving everyone in awe.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali expresses his gratitude for the success of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, saying, “I'm blessed by the love and appreciation for Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. It's been a joy to see the show resonate with audiences worldwide, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Netflix. I’m happy to announce that we’ll be back with season 2!"
