They make a name for themselves in Mumbai or Kolkata’s film industries. Quoted by News18, he said, “In Heeramandi 2, the women now come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition and most of them settle in the Mumbai film industry or Kolkata film industry. So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning, let’s see where it goes.” ALSO READ: ‘How Bi**hy And Arrogant Is She?’: Sharmin Segal Gets Mercilessly TROLLED After She Calls Heeramandi Co-Star Sanjeeda Sheikh An ‘Outsider’
