The world of Mirzapur is about to explode onto the big screen — bigger, bloodier, and more brutal than ever. After ruling the OTT platform for years with its gripping storytelling, the fan-favourite crime saga will release in film format soon. Actress Shweta Tripathi has kicked off shooting for Mirzapur: The Film in Varanasi, and her return as the fierce and unforgettable Golu has sparked buzz.
According to ANI, in a press note, Shweta mentioned that this shoot is more than just another project. The actress shared that Golu has been more than a character — she’s (Golu) been a companion who’s grown with her over the years. Shooting in Varanasi, she said, feels emotional and surreal because the city has played a key role in her artistic journey.
From Masaan to Mirzapur seasons one and two, and even Escaype Live and Kalkoot, Shweta’s connection with the city runs deep. Her trainer and close friend Tridev Pandey is also from Varanasi, adding another layer of warmth and nostalgia to the experience. For her, the city’s charm isn’t just in its ghats or temples — it’s in its people, food, and the love that keeps drawing her back.
