After Heeramandi, Sonakshi Sinha says she apologised to Manisha Koirala, asking, “How have I done this?” I love you so much, Kaha se aayi.

After seeing Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, actor Sonakshi Sinha said she apologised to co-star Manisha Koirala. Sonakshi revealed in an interview with Instant Bollywood if she attempted to be in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “good books” while filming the web series.

Sonakshi gives Manisha an explanation for her apology.

Sonakshi Sinha remarked, “I love her,” when discussing her friendship with Manisha. Once I saw the full series, I apologised to her! How have I accomplished this, I wondered? How dare I? Meri ye majaal kaha se aayi! She is fantastic, and that is the allure of having a talented performer like her in front of you—they inspire you to do better. This is Manisha Koirala, a talented artist whose work we have grown up admiring. I reasoned that because I was in front of her, I should act well. You are really enjoying your banter with each other; it is such a delight. Working with Manisha ma’am was enjoyable.

Sonakshi discusses Bhansali.

During the show’s production, Sonakshi discussed her connection with Bhansali, saying, “I didn’t really try (to be in his good books).” Since dad is an artist himself, I understood that doing my work well or producing good work is the only thing that will ever impress him. That’s precisely what took place. I had told him not to film too many of my sequences, but when he finished one, he kept returning. On set, we had a lovely relationship where I didn’t have to try too hard because I knew that if I placed too much pressure on myself, I would screw it up. I gave it everything I had and tried my hardest. He recognised and valued that.”

Sonakshi is playing two parts in Heeramandi.

Sonakshi is receiving accolades for her performance as the bitter Fareedan in Bhansali’s drama about courtesans set in Lahore before to the Partition. In the eight-part Netflix series, she played two distinct roles: that of mother Rehanna and daughter Fareedan. The series explores the cultural realities of Heeramandi in great detail via the tales of courtesans and their customers. The series stars Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community

JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.

JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
