The warmth and curiosity of people here always make the experience special.”

We’ve lived with these characters for years, but every new story brings a new challenge. This leg was charged with energy, emotion, and a lot of love from fans who showed up at every corner to watch us film. It’s inspiring to see how deeply Mirzapur has connected with people across generations.”
What did Shweta Tripathi say about shooting in Banaras for Mirzapur?
Shweta Tripathi said, “Banaras has given me so much as an actor.” Shweta Tripathi added, “It’s almost poetic that I keep finding myself here for roles that define me. Golu’s journey has been one of transformation and inner strength, and shooting in Banaras makes that emotion feel real. The people here treat Mirzapur as their own story, and that’s such a rare and beautiful thing to witness. This schedule was intense, emotional, and full of gratitude. Now I’m looking forward to taking that same energy to our next schedule in Mumbai.”
