To introduce the newest members of the group, Bhansali Productions released four new character posters on Saturday. Fardeen Khan is ready to return to the big screen after 14 years with Heeramandi. The actor appeared slouched on a couch with a tray full of jewellery strewn out in front of him in the new poster. “Caught in a whirlwind struggle of love and duty, Wali Mohammed attempts to reconcile his heart’s desire with his royal responsibilities. Fardeen Khan makes his spectacular return to the screen as Wali Mohammed!,” the film poster caption on Instagram reads.
In addition, Shekhar Suman and his son Adhayayan Suman will be appearing in the Netflix series. Shekhar appeared as a Nawaab in a second post, sporting a proud expression on his face. Adhyayan Suman, son of Shekhar Suman, attracted notice for his appearance as Zoravar at the same time.
Tajdar is portrayed by Taha Shah Badussha in Heeramandi. The actor is seen on the poster resting against a wall and holding a white lace handkerchief in his hands.
