Insights from the Cast

Vijay Varma, who played dual roles as twin brothers in the previous season, opened up about the challenges he faced while filming for Season 3. He shared, "In Season 2, portraying twin brothers was challenging as it required embodying two distinct characters and interacting with each other. This season, the greatest challenge was consolidating these roles into one character, which felt like I had a split personality. These internal conflicts are still present. I've never experienced such a complex portrayal as an actor."

With just a few days left until the release of Mirzapur Season 3, the anticipation is reaching a fever pitch.
