'Heeramandi' first look: Sanjay Leela Bhansali promises another magnificent title
This year's highly-anticipated web series is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, set for a Netflix release. The series has been in the making for very long now.

On Thursday, the makers of Heeramandi dropped the first look of the upcoming series, giving glimpses into what's expected to be another magnificent project of Bhansali.

It also gives a sneak peek into its leading ladies including Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sonakshi Sinha. The look runs high on the elaborate dance numbers that Bhansali's projects are known for. But it's Koirala's breathtaking first look that's the highlight.
