Set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s, ‘Heeramandi’ promises to be an epic saga of love, power, revenge, and freedom. It will start streaming on Netflix from May 1.

With the show, Fardeen Khan is also returning to acting after 14 years of hiatus.

In a recent interview with ANI, Fardeen opened up about his comeback, saying he feels like a “newcomer”.

“I am quite excited but extremely nervous as well. A lot has changed in these 12 years…The level of films has changed. The way people consume cinema has changed… Today, there’s a completely new generation so I feel like a newcomer. I feel fortunate that I got a chance to work with good people with this ‘Heeramandi’ show. I have two more pictures that will be released this year… I am really thankful to the audience who have trusted me,” he said.

He last appeared on the big screen in ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’. The actor had gone on a sabbatical, being completely off movies and even social media.
