‘Heeramandi’ actor Richa Chadha discusses playing a Lahore Courtesan
One of the six Indian actors who will portray the courtesans of Lahore in the upcoming Netflix original series Heeramandi is the Bollywood starlet Richa Chadha. The web series, directed by famous director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, explores the courtesans’ and their clients’ lives in the thriving Red Light District of Lahore against the backdrop of the 1940s.
The Fukrey actress talked about inhabiting her character in a recent interview. According to Press Trust of India, Chadha characterized her experience working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the series as “difficult”.
You are instructed to wear a 30 kg lehenga, perform four circles, and pause on the beat. A tear should fall from your left eye because the light is coming from that side, the woman stated. The level of focus is comparable to meditation. It was incredibly challenging for me to execute, especially in a public setting.
Bhansali has a reputation for paying close attention to every last detail and for producing visually spectacular cinematic experiences. His first foray into the digital world, Heeramandi, has sparked a great deal of interest and anticipation among spectators.
However, Chadha has previously collaborated with the Padmaavat filmmaker. Previously, the two collaborated on the 2013 release Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram Leela. She referred to her time spent working with Bhansali, saying, “I worked with him on Ram-Leela. Despite a ten-year break, we resumed where we left off.
“I love working with him because he is relentless,” the actor continued. Even your toe matters when you work with him. On his sets, you can’t do anything half-heartedly, which makes me feel really afraid.
“From body language to hair, all of these things are important to him,” Chadha said in conclusion. In terms of appearance, he is absolutely flawless. You must not lose out on these opportunities.
Fans anticipate seeing yet another masterpiece with a superb ensemble and Bhansali’s creative skill at the helm as anticipation for Heeramandi grows. The program promises to be a distinctive and all-encompassing trip into the seductive world of courtesans, with a historical setting as its backdrop.
Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Chaddha, and Sanjeeda Sheikh are among the outstanding actors in the cast of Heeramandi.
