Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web series Heeramandi is being praised. Many celebrities including Ayushmann Khurrana, Akshay Kumar have called this series brilliant. The performance of the actors is being liked. But actors are also being trolled fiercely for their Urdu dialogues. Among the reactions received by Hiramandi on social media, the most discussed issue is the Urdu language of the actors. He is being trolled for not being able to speak correct Urdu. In such a special conversation with us, the lyricist-poet of the series AM Turaj has explained the real reason for the actors not being able to speak Urdu.
Our question- In Hiramandi, the actors are being trolled because they cannot speak Urdu correctly. What is your opinion on this?
AM Turaj’s answer- This is absolutely the right question. Not only in Hiramandi but in many films the actors are not able to speak Urdu correctly. The main reason for this is his busyness with other projects. Actors want to be a part of many projects simultaneously. In such a situation, they are unable to work on their speech and are unable to pay attention. Also, in today’s time, Hindi films and actors are fond of reading scripts in Roman and English. If an actor who is a part of a Hindi film will read the script in English, Urdu is a distant thing, he will not even be able to speak Hindi properly.
Disadvantages of Hiramandi
On the question of shortcomings of Hiramandi, AM Turaj said that any film or series has shortcomings. But there is also good which cannot be ignored. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has promoted a culture in Hiramandi. He is a veteran director who has a clear vision.
Lyricist poet AM Turaj talks to Hiramandi about his favorite scene, song and a scene which he was shocked to see during the shooting. Part of the interview will continue to be available on the website.
