The energy of this city is unmatched – there’s calmness, chaos, devotion, and drama, all at once. Shooting here always fills me with gratitude. The love people showered on us during this schedule was overwhelming, and it reminded me once again how deeply Mirzapur lives in the hearts of its audience.”

This schedule was intense yet soulful, and I’ll carry a piece of this city with me as we head to the next phase of filming in Mumbai.”
