New Delhi:

Bollywood star Adhyayan Suman is all set to characteristic in upcoming internet collection Heeramandi as Zorawar Ali Khan. The information was shared by the streaming big Netflix and the makers of the collection on Instagram as they unveiled the character posters of the Nawabs of Heeramandi – Fardeen Khan, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman and Adhyayan Suman. Adhyayan Suman, who might be that includes alongside his dad Shekhar, has now opened up on how he got here aboard the Sanjay Leela Bhansali present. Talking to News18, the Raaz – The Mystery Continues actor stated, “I got a call from Shruti Mahajan (casting director) to audition for Zorawar’s character. I was celebrating my parents’ marriage anniversary somewhere in the Himalayas. I got the call when I was travelling there. At one o’clock in the afternoon, I was told that Mr Bhansali would be seeing my audition at three. Somehow, I managed to stop the car in the middle of the mountains and make an audition clip sitting in the car,” he recalls.

He continued, “I begged, borrowed and stole some network from people and sent the tape. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the role. To be honest, if I had auditioned and not gotten the part in any other filmmaker’s film or series, I would just let it pass. But this was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s show and it’s every actor’s dream to work with him. So, I was extremely disappointed that it didn’t work out for me.”

 “My father always tells me that if something is meant to be, it will be and nobody can snatch anything away that’s destined to happen. The shoot of Heeramandi started with the other characters. Two days before they were supposed to start shoot with the actor who was supposed to play Zorawar, he was suddenly asked to leave and I was brought in. It’s just outstanding how it all happened,” Adhyayan summed up.

Earlier, Adhyayan Suman announced in his Instagram post that he has joined the cast of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi. He wrote in an extensive post, “It took me 15 years to really feel validated as an actor! To be having to play not one however two main characters Heeramandi is one thing I might solely dream of! For me Mr Bhansali is a minimum of God, somebody I by no means imagined I’d be working with! The largest filmmaker within the nation a maverick past excellence! His reward for me is greater than an Oscar.”

He posted a picture with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and added in his caption, “It was my mom’s dream! What a journey it has been! To have the ability to act, direct, sing, write, I am unable to ask for extra.”

Heeramandi will showcase the story of the courtesans of Lahore and will explore the lesser-known aspects of their lives. It will be set in pre-independent India.
