Mumbai, Dec 24

Actor Ali Fazal, who is all set to reprise his popular role as Guddu Bhaiya for the movie adaptation of the "Mirzapur" franchise, has described the character as one that carries "a certain weight" and a depth that goes beyond dialogue.

Sharing his excitement, Ali told IANS: "Stepping back into Guddu Bhaiya's world is always intense. This character carries a certain weight, a silence that speaks louder than words."

As he wraps up the Rajasthan schedule of the shoot on Wednesday, the actor said the sandy locales of Jaisalmer add an extra layer to the story.

Ali expressed his excitement for the audience, promising that there is much more in store.

"There's a lot more coming, and I can't wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen."

The actor had also shared a glimpse from the shoot schedule in Rajasthan and captioned: "MIRZAPUR THE FILM . Shooting now. Rajasthan Schedule . Thank you Jaisalmer and Jodhpur for the immense love and hospitality that knows no bounds. Aapne humein apna samjha... To all the hotels that made us feel at home while we were toiling away from our own homes. Khammaghani!! And I have to introduce you to everyone. The entire gang is playing (sic)."

"Mirzapur", it follows Akhandanand "Kaleen" Tripathi, a crime boss and businessman who is the proverbial ruler of Mirzapur district in the Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh state in India.

In the first season, the main cast features Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyendu Sharma, Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur and Kulbhushan Kharbanda.

The second season retains the main cast from the first season, excluding Vikrant and Shriya, with a new cast consisting of Vijay Varma, Isha Talwar, Lilliput, Anjum Sharma, Priyanshu Painyuli, Anangsha Biswas and Neha Sargam.

The series was filmed mostly across Uttar Pradesh, primarily shot in Mirzapur, and other locations including Jaunpur, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Lucknow, Raebareli, Gorakhpur, and Varanasi.

Mirzapur is one of the best web series to come out of India. The casting is perfect. Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen bhaiya is legendary. But honestly, I hope the movie has a tighter script than Season 2, which felt a bit stretched at times.

Shooting in Jaisalmer and Jodhpur is a great choice. The landscapes will add so much scale and rawness to the story. It's more than just UP's heartland now. Hope they keep the authentic 'gaali' and dialect though, that's the soul of Mirzapur!

As someone who discovered Indian web series recently, Mirzapur was a revelation. The character depth is incredible. Ali Fazal is right about the weight his character carries. It's a complex portrayal of power and trauma. Looking forward to the film.

The whole cast is brilliant, but missing Munna (Divyendu) and Guddu's dynamic. That was the core conflict. Hope the movie does justice to all the loose ends from the series. Also, khammaghani! Love that he used the Rajasthani thank you.

Having been a part of this universe, I can say the team works with so much passion. The shift to a film format is challenging but exciting. Wishing Ali and the entire crew all the very best! The audience is in for a treat.
