The period drama follows the lives, loves, and tragedies of courtesans in pre-independence India. The scheming Mallikajaan rules over an elite house of courtesans — but a new rival threatens her reign as rebellion brews in British-ruled India. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi has an impressive cast line-up but how is everyone connected to Mallikajaan? In addition to the eight cast members discussed above, Heeramandi also has significant roles for Shekhar Suman (as Zulfikar), Farida Jalal (as Qudsia Begum), Indresh Malik (as Ustaad), Mark Bennington (as Samuel Henderson), Jason Shah (as Alastair Cartwright), Pratibha Ranta (as Waheeda’s daughter) and Adhyayan Suman (as Zorawar).
