The actress says the character truly changed the way audiences see her and "the kind of stories I get to be a part of."

"Bringing Mirzapur to the big screen is both exciting and fulfilling, because the love for this world and these characters is immense. Reuniting with the cast, especially with Ali Fazal, who is like family, and stepping back into Golu's shoes felt like coming home, but with a new energy and scale. I can't wait for audiences to experience this chapter of Mirzapur in cinemas," she concluded.

Mirzapur is one of the best web series to come out of India. The characters feel so real. Golu's arc was particularly powerful. Excited to see the story on the big screen!

Respectfully, while Shweta was good, the show's strength was always its ensemble cast, especially Pankaj Tripathi. Hope the movie doesn't lose that balance.

As someone from UP, the portrayal of Purvanchal in Mirzapur, while dramatized, has a certain raw authenticity. Golu represented the modern youth caught in that world. Brilliant casting.

Yaar, the wait for this movie feels longer than the gap between seasons! 😂 So glad the original cast is back. Shweta and Ali's chemistry was fire. Bring it on!
