The show also has Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), one of Mallikajaan’s daughters, joining the fight for Indian independence freedom and Mallikajaan’s youngest, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), trying to run away from Heeramandi after falling in love with Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), the son of a nawab.
The much-awaited show is created and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the OTT platform and its grandeur and opulence shows in each and every frame, just like the National Award-winning director’s films such as Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. The filmmaker has also composed the music for the show.
