Mirzapur season 3 cast opens up about their characters
Ali Fazal shared insights into Mirzapur season 3. He said, “This time the show has taken a different route, it’s tight, more drama. Interestingly, we have introduced hand combat. We lose some important characters, we gain some new ones. I underwent a different kind of preparation which was fun.”
Furthermore, Vijay Varma’s characters Chote and Bade Tyagi left a major cliffhanger in the previous season, hence fans are left wondering what will happen next. “We thought Dadda would be happy, consider me capable, but the mistakes made by Chote were unforgivable. We didn’t want to, but circumstances forced us to pick up the gun. And then—whether Vijay’s character is Chote or Bade this time, only time will tell, but it will touch your heart,” the actor shared.
