Shweta Tripathi
Actor discussing Mirzapur: The Film and its transition from streaming to cinema
“Everything good takes time. You enjoy the drip coffee because it has a whole different flavour. We wanted to be very sure about why we want to tell this story on a big screen. This is a celebration from fans. It's India's first OTT-to-big screen franchise. It's also a responsibility and we take it very seriously. We hold our fans in high regard.”

“I was very confused about playing this Golu as I had to go back to her initial days. How she walks, talks, her expressions, and all because if we go by the series she is a different person now after all the trauma she has gone through. It wasn't like a magic wand that one can use.”
