Ali Fazal Opens Up About His Character Guddu Pandit In Mirzapur: 'It's Only Growing...'

He highlighted how people often remember actors by their iconic projects, which has been the case with Mirzapur, significantly contributing to his fame and success. The show's massive popularity has cemented Ali Fazal's status as a global star, with his portrayal of Guddu Pandit earning widespread acclaim. Mirzapur Season 3 premiered on Prime Video on July 5, 2024, further solidifying the show's impact.

In a concersation with NDTV, the actor said, "No, it doesn't bother me. Why should it? I'm constantly doing Mirzapur, and it's only growing. I'm glad people connect with that. In other countries, people connect with my International work and that's a separate audience that I have. So I know how people can tend to connect with you only through that one character. And so people always remember you by that in one part of the world."

He further added, "With my International audience, they react to the work they have seen in the West. Then that becomes the only thing they are circling back to. That is how people react in another part of the world. It becomes a benchmark for the next. I've seen that as well. So I guess it's a mixed bag of people appreciating at the end of the day. In a society filled with angry people, I don't think I would mind any kind of appreciation for the work we do."
