Shekhar Suman eagerly described Zulfiqar as, “A towering figure of power and authority, he commands attention effortlessly. I’m eager for the audiences to witness the tale of Heeramandi that’s close to all our hearts. It was an exhilarating and enriching experience working with a maestro and an auteur like Mr.Bhansali.”
Adhyayan Suman expressed, “Zorawar carries himself with a certain air of self-assurance, the kind that’s expected of a nawab. It was an honour beyond words to play this character designed by Mr Bhansali. His validation was like a badge of honour for me.”
