MUMBAI: It was reported that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali bagged a massive deal for his next venture 'Heeramandi'. Now, the truth is out.

A source told a media portal, “Contrary to the reports in the media about Netflix allegedly paying Sanjay Leela Bhansali a certain amount of money for Heeramandi are completely baseless. No such discussion has taken place at all and these stories must be fact-checked.”

According to rumours, he bagged a deal with the OTT streaming giant that will explore stories of courtesans during pre-independent India. The series is said to be about love, betrayal, and politics.

It was reported that the OTT giant had agreed to shell out big bucks for the first season of the upcoming web series.
