Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman Khan have previously collaborated on films such as Khamoshi and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Notably, Khamoshi marked Sanjay’s directorial debut.

However, the project faced delays and was ultimately stalled due to creative differences between the director and the actor.

The historical drama series explores the lives of courtesans during the Indian Independence struggle in the 1940s. Following this project, Bhansali is reportedly taking a departure from his signature period films. He has signed Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, and Ranbir Kapoor for his next film titled Love And War, which is said to be a love story rather than a period drama. Further details about the project are yet to be revealed.
