In an earlier interview with Variety, Bhansali had revealed that the sequel will showcase their displacement after Partition, as many tawaifs get into the Hindi and Bengali film industries. "In Heeramandi 2, the women leave Lahore and step into the film world. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs."
Reportedly, as the roles portrayed by Aditi Rao Hydari and Richa Chadha died in season one, the upcoming season will bring new faces in front of the audience.
