Recently, at the 24th edition of FICCI Frames in Mumbai, Sonakshi heaped praises on Bhansali for his portrayal of women characters on screen. "Sanjay sir and I have been trying to collaborate for many years and I'm glad it happened with Heeramandi.

The way he portrays his women on screen, nobody is able to do that. He has got a very different vision for it in spite of it being all magnum opus... He takes good care of how his female characters are portrayed on screen, and that's something I appreciate about him" Sonakshi said. The official streaming date of the series has not yet been announced.
