“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.”
