Previously, during a conversation with India Today, Ali Fazal revealed how he was quite apprehensive initially, about the success of Mirzapur. However, after the first season came out, he couldn’t fathom the amount of success and love it got as its immediate response. Ali further said:
“When it (Mirzapur) first came out, I never knew it would get this famous. But, I knew that this form of storytelling would work, and I think it was one of those few shows with such a plotline. Because I had seen it in the West and have seen it work, hence, I was pretty sure that if the story is done right, there’s going to be an audience for it because then it was a different medium that is catching up.”
