Unseen pictures from Heeramandi premiere: Sanjay Leela Bhansali poses with Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Rekha

The streaming platform shared some unseen inside pictures from the premiere on its official Instagram handle. The caption stated, “A royal night of glitz, glamour, and grandeur (black heart emoji). Heeramandi : The Diamond Bazaar premieres 1st May, only on Netflix!”

The first picture had Bhansali pose with his longtime muse Salman Khan. Salman starred in the filmmaker's 1996 directorial debut, Khamoshi: The Musical. Interestingly, Salman's co-star in that movie, Manisha Koirala, is also part of Heeramandi. Salman most famously featured in Bhansali's 1999 romantic musical Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and reunited with him for an extended guest appearance in the 2009 dud, Saawariya.

Bhansali and Salman twinned in black as the two posed together for the camera. Salman rubbished rumours of his tiff with Bhansali when he turned up for the premiere of his debut show amid high security concerns, given the recent incident when two men opened fire at his Mumbai residence. The rumours of a feud cropped up when Salman walked out of Bhansali's ambitious project Inshallah, which cast him opposite Bhansali's new muse, Alia Bhatt.
