Fardeen Khan opens up about his return to acting after 14 years

The makers of Sanjay Leela Bhansali recently revealed the poster where it was disclosed that Fardeen Khan will essay the character of Wali Mohammed in the Manisha Koirala and Sonakshi Sinha starrer ‘Heeramandi’. Yesterday, the makers unveiled the trailer of the mega-project where the entire cast was present. Getting emotional about his return to acting after 14 long years, Fardeen stated that he is extremely thankful to Netflix and Sanjay Leela Bhansali for giving him this opportunity as he doesn’t think he could have got a bigger opportunity than this to return to screen as an actor.

Fardeen mentioned that although at first, it seemed like a daunting task to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, when you see the way he writes his characters, his vision for things, everything falls into place. The actor also stated that at the age he is in and to make a comeback at that age as an actor, he feels confident that he can contribute to this character which has been written beautifully. The actor mentioned that he is all emotional and can’t thank enough the makers of ‘Heeramandi’ for giving him this opportunity.

Fardeen Khan, after taking a break from acting, was massively criticized when he gained almost 18 kgs and appeared on a bulky side. However, the actor took all the criticism in a positive light, shed those extra kilos, and today is back in his lean and fit look.

Talking about Heeramandi, it’s a period drama starring Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and others. The series is the story about courtesans who live in the red-light district of Heeramandi during the Indian independence movement.
