Gurmmeet Singh directs the film, which was developed by Puneet Krishna and shot primarily in Benaras, including Ramnagar Fort. Aside from Pankaj Tripathi and Ali Fazal, the film stars Divyenndu as Munna Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee.
Shweta Tripathi, who plays a key part, recently spoke with fans about their enthusiasm for the upcoming film. She remarked, “The madness of ‘Mirzapur’ is such that fans are constantly posting updates and pictures from our shoots all over Benaras.” It’s like receiving live updates from our extended family! It’s no longer simply the cast and crew; the viewer has also joined our universe.”

She also discussed her personal connection with the place, saying, “Benaras, this city keeps calling me back. I’ve been going here since the time of Masaan. My Nana attended BHU, and my mother wore a Benarasi lehenga at her wedding. Even my trainer, Tridev Pandey, is from here.”
