Fardeen Khan’s comeback seems to be finally happening. Not only has he completed a Sanjay Gupta production (directed by Kookie Gulati) Fardeen is also now the first major male actor to signed up for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘chic flick’ Heeramandi .
Fardeen plays the love interest of one of the s*x workers in Bhansali’s brothel saga.
Says a source close to the development, “It is not a negligible role. Just because Heeramandi has the women characters at the forefront , it is being presumed that the men have very little to do. Not true. Fardeen has a substantial role. He has been working on his accent and body language for some time now.He is very excited about working with Bhansali for the first time.”
Fardeen has already started shooting for Heeramandi. Interestingly Fardeen’s mother-in-law the legendary Mumtaz also plays a stellar part in Heeramandi.
