Imran Abbas finds himself in the spotlight after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s recent statements regarding the casting of his web series, ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.’ Bhansali’s revelation at the Los Angeles premiere of the show stirred controversy, leading to Imran Abbas’s response to the ensuing backlash.
In an interview with ARY Digital’s Shaan-e-Suhoor, Imran Abbas had previously discussed being considered for Bhansali’s project. However, Bhansali’s clarification during the premiere event prompted accusations against Abbas, calling into question the actor’s integrity.
Imran Abbas at Instagram expressed gratitude towards Bhansali for acknowledging his consideration for ‘Heeramandi.’ He urged followers to seek validation from other directors mentioned in his interviews, in reponse to accusations of lying from followers.
Addressing criticism and mockery, Abbas highlighted the importance of understanding diverse perspectives and the challenges faced by public figures. He criticized the tendency to discredit celebrities based on unsubstantiated claims from unreliable sources.
Bhansali’s revelation regarding the casting choices for ‘Heeramandi’ added fuel to the ongoing discussion. While the series features a star-studded ensemble cast, Bhansali’s consideration of Pakistani actors like Imran Abbas underscores the project’s inclusivity.
‘Heeramandi,’ which premiered on Netflix on May 1, delves into the lives of courtesans in pre-independence India. With a diverse cast including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, and others, the series offers a glimpse into a bygone era of opulence and intrigue.
