Respectfully, while the birthday story is heartwarming, I hope the article's focus on this doesn't overshadow the actual film's content. The ensemble cast is stellar, and the plot needs to be the real star. The wait till 2026 is a test of patience for sure.

Calling a khansama (chef) for the whole crew is such a classy and generous move. It shows great leadership. Harshita's connection to her character Dimpy is palpable. Indian web series have truly created iconic characters that actors grow with.

Galouti kebabs on set! Now that's a proper celebration. Mirzapur's raw vibe combined with these behind-the-scenes moments of camaraderie is what makes it special. Pankaj Tripathi is back! That alone is worth the price of the ticket. 🍿
