Sanjay Leela Bhansali to direct first episode of Heera Mandi: balance six by Vibhu Puri

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is stepping in to direct the first episode of Netflix’s Heera Mandi. The initial plan was for Bhansali’s protégé Vibhu Puri to direct all the episodes of the opulent series while Bhansali was to serve as producer. Heera Mandi is Bhansali’s dream project for 12 years now. The only reason he is not helming it officially is because he is busy with the post-production of his directorial project Gangubai Kathiawadi.
