Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for giving his heart and soul to each of his projects so that they get as close as possible to perfection. Therefore it doesn't come as a surprise that his directorial debut on OTT got delayed several times. 

Manisha Koirala who plays the role of Mallika Jaan in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar recently talked about not being affected by the delays. During an interview with India Today, she said, "As artists, we are greedy to work on good scripts. We know the value of a good role, script, and a good filmmaker. Everything else, like impatience, is way too small compared to the joy of being a part of a beautiful project."

The talented actress said that everyone in the team including her was secure because they knew that Sanjay Leela Bhansali would never compromise on quality.

"When you know you have a committed filmmaker, how much time it takes doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter whether it takes a year or two or four because you know whenever it is out, it will be something that you are going to be proud of," she explained while adding that she has reached a stage in her career and life where she prefers quality more than time.
