Filming for the much-anticipated feature Mirzapur: The Film came to a close in the historic city of Banaras (Varanasi) after an exhausting two weeks. With tremendous fan enthusiasm and social media hype fed by multiple behind-the-scenes looks, the principal cast—Pankaj Tripathi (Kaleen Bhaiya), Ali Fazal (Guddu Pandit), and Shweta Tripathi Sharma (Golu Gupta)—finished filming.
Upcoming production schedule and setting’s importance
Filming has been scheduled to resume soon after Diwali, and the production base will now be in Mumbai. The film is going to adapt the popular web series franchise for the big screen. The actors felt a strong connection to Banaras, a place that is fundamental to the story.
Tripathi discussed the significance of the setting to his character, the imposing Kaleen Bhaiya. Coming to Banaras always makes him feel at home. Shooting Mirzapur: The Film here brought home to him why this world feels so genuine to everyone. The actor described the city as spiritual, raw, and alive with its rhythm. Imagining himself in Kaleen Bhaiya’s position is like rediscovering a previously written piece with fresh insight; he was born here in spirit. Tripathi also said that the genuine friendliness and inquisitiveness of the locals never fail to elevate the experience.
Ali Fazal on Guddu’s evolution and the city’s chaotic energy
Guddu Pandit, played by Fazal, has changed more than any other character in the series. The actor said that the chaotic energy of the city was crucial to his character’s development. The peculiar kind of lunacy that characterises Banaras significantly influences a large portion of Guddu’s journey. Fazal expressed that returning to Banaras was both familiar and exciting. He paid tribute to the devoted audience by saying that they have lived with these characters for years, but every new story brings a new challenge. This leg of filming was filled with excitement, emotion, and love, as people showed up at every turn to watch them. The actor added that Mirzapur has touched the lives of individuals of all ages, and it’s quite remarkable.
Tripathi Sharma’s career trajectory has been inextricably bound up with the city, as she portrays Golu Gupta. Banaras has provided her with so much as an actor that she found it “poetic” that she kept coming back for roles that shaped her identity. Saying, “Shooting in Banaras makes that emotion feel real,” Sharma characterised the filming experience as deeply touching, describing Golu’s path as one of change and inner strength. For her, witnessing the locals embrace Mirzapur as their own story is an extraordinary and lovely sight. There was a lot of thankfulness, intensity, and emotion throughout this schedule. With that momentum, she can’t wait for their next schedule in Mumbai.
Anticipation for the big-screen Mirzapur Universe
