Heeramandi Star Jason Shah Says Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Show Was Ghost Directed

Jason Shah gained recognition after playing the role of British officer Cartwright in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web series Heeramandi. The actor shared a few details about the series and how few things affected him and wished something could have been done more than what he played in the series.

Jason Shah’s revelation about Heeramandi

In the Rushabh podcast, Inside the Mind, Heeramandi star Jason Shah revealed that he raised his concerns, but that is he’d registered more complaints. When asked why he felt dissatisfied, he said, “It was his first time (doing a web series). Film is a little different because web is a little stretched, you’ve got a lot of episodes to make, and it’s not made in a short time… He also wasn’t directing that much. I had other directors with me. I just felt we could’ve worked on it a little more, and a lot more colour could’ve come out. It had the capacity, I feel.”

Jason Shah further said, “that there was a ‘lack of communication’ on set, as opposed to there being ‘miscommunication’. He said that he could’ve done more with Cartwright had he been given more freedom. “What didn’t happen was the depth of the character. If you look at Gandhi, with Ben Kingsley, they really show how far racism can go, and the dichotomy between who someone thinks they are, and another human being…” Asked if he raised these concerns with Bhansali, Jason replied with a laugh, “I think I said enough. I would’ve become a problem maker if I said more.”
