Mirzapur Movie Wraps Banaras Shoot, Heads to Mumbai

The highly anticipated Mirzapur: The Movie has reached a significant milestone as the lead stars have completed the Banaras shoot for the film. Over the past two weeks, actors Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Shweta Tripathi have been filming across the city's iconic ghats and bustling lanes, capturing the essence of the franchise's setting.

Reflecting on the experience, Pankaj Tripathi expressed that Banaras feels like a "home" to him and to his character, Kaleen Bhaiya, describing the city as "spiritual, raw, and alive." Ali Fazal, who is reprising his role, shared that returning to Banaras brought a sense of "nostalgia and madness," and the overwhelming fan response on set was "deeply inspiring" for the team.

With the Banaras chapter now complete, the Mirzapur movie is set to move to its next phase, with the Mumbai schedule commencing in early November, right after the Diwali festivities. Shweta Tripathi, who plays Golu, described the shoot as "intense and emotional," noting how Banaras continues to shape her as an actor and lend authenticity to her character's evolving journey.

As the Mirzapur franchise transitions to the big screen, the film promises to elevate the signature blend of power, revenge, and human drama to a grand cinematic scale, keeping the fans eagerly waiting for its release.
