Manisha had further elaborated about her skepticism and had said in an interview with The Hindu, “I am a little conservative in my approach. I was unsure if I would be a fit [for it]. I told Dibakar you might need a bolder person. I had seen and loved his short in Bombay Talkies . I knew he would make something sensible… At every step [Banerjee] was careful. He has been sensitive and respectful.”

In Heeramandi, the actor plays the powerful Mallikajaan, who rules over the courtesans. The show also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal in pivotal roles. A scene from Heermandi featuring Manisha and Shekhar Suman has been gaining attention. In the scene, the duo is seen performing an unusual intimate scene and Shekhar had revealed that the scene was not scripted.
