Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan were the first choice for Indian movie ‘Heeramandi’

Actor Imran Abbas’s claims about significant Bollywood roles are vindicated by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali at ‘Heeramandi’ premiere.

Bhansali confirms Imran’s involvement in the show during a conversation with Lilly Singh at the Los Angeles premiere.

The casting process for ‘Heeramandi’ involved various changes, with consideration given to Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan.

Imran shared the LA interview clip on Instagram, confirming his previous claims about being approached for a role.

Despite changes, Bhansali is deeply satisfied with the final ensemble cast of ‘Heeramandi’, featuring esteemed talents.

Scheduled to premiere on May 1, ‘Heeramandi’ marks Bhansali’s bold foray into pre-Independence Lahore’s narrative.
