'Heeramandi' -  A tribute to 'Mughal-e-Azam' and 'Pakeezah'

The filmmaker said in the upcoming Netflix series he has tried to capture the nuances which were highlighted in "Mughal-E-Azam", directed by K Asif, and Kamal Amrohi's "Pakeezah". In both films, the leading ladies Madhubala and Meena Kumari played the role of courtesans.
