The caption said: “Wali Mohammed faces a tough battle between love and duty. He tries to balance what he wants with his duties as royalty. Fardeen Khan makes an amazing comeback as Wali Mohammed!”
The show is about the courtesans of Lahore and life in the red-light district in old India. In the picture, Fardeen is dressed in old-fashioned clothes and has a mustache.

Fardeen’s last movie was ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’. After that, he took a break from acting and stayed away from social media.
The movie also features Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chaddha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Sharmin Segal.

The summary of the series says: “In Heeramandi, where there’s a fight for power, a young heir has to pick between love and taking over. This shakes things up. The story is set in India before it became independent, during a time when people were fighting for freedom. It’s a test for the tradition of tawaifs (courtesans).”

‘Heeramandi’ is said to be a big story about love, power, revenge, and freedom. The filmmaker has been working on it for 14 years because it’s his special project. Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Prerna Singh produced it, with Moin Beg credited for the concept. You can watch ‘Heeramandi’ on Netflix starting from May 1st.
