Richa Chadha’s numerous visits to filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s office were hint enough that the two are planning to collaborate on a new project. Now, our source tells us that the actor is finally on board Bhansali’s debut web series, Heera Mandi. And these frequent visits by Chadha were meetings with the director for the same project.

“We have heard they had a series of meets. They make for a stellar combination, bringing together the best talent on and off screen, making this proposition of them working together again, exciting,” says our source.

The last time the two teamed up was for the 2013 film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela, where the actor played the role of Rasila.

Further spilling the beans on how Bhansali is going about the project, the source adds, “It will be helmed by Bhansali, but there are other episodes that will be directed by another filmmaker. Bhansali and Richa were a great combination during Ram-Leela and have been trying to work together on several occasions. And it’s finally happening.”

The show will reportedly revolve around the life of sex workers, and rumours are rife that actors Sonakshi Sinha and Huma S Qureshi, too, have been in talks for it.

Lined up next for Chadha are Fukrey 3 and Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai. Meanwhile, Bhansali is readying his film Gangubai Kathiawadi, which has been stuck for a theatrical release for some time now.
