When Bhansali announced 'Hiramandi', the story of courtesans bound in chains during the freedom struggle, he had used the line - 'Where courtesans were queens'. This time all the main female characters of Bhansali are courtesans. Hiramandi is the name of an area in pre-partition Lahore which was known for its courtesans during the Mughal era.
Actresses like Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Sehgal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh are playing the roles of courtesans in the show. This story is from the period when India was at the stage of its fight for independence. The fight of Indians against the British Raj is about to be successful.
One country is going to be divided into two parts. But these courtesans, who live at the mercy of powerful people, are going to be divided into so many parts that perhaps no one can even count them. And in such a situation, these women, who have been living life in a royal style, have to fight a battle to save their existence. Watch the trailer of 'Hiramandi' here:
