Heeramandi is the biggest set made by SLB

In a recent interview, Sanjay Leela Bhansali was seen sharing interesting anecdotes about Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. He said, “Because I have always wanted to be lost. This is the biggest set I have made in my life. Because it’s really that walls have been pushed way beyond what I thought. I would never be able to push as a child which I thought it was. So I feel I have started enjoying and understanding more and more as my filmmaking has progressed. I have started enjoying creating walls at a distance and further and further. But I never want to dictate. I feel I have set it. The audience will find what they want to see. A lot of times people have criticised that we have so much to see that for the first time, we miss the essence of the scene.”
