Ali Fazal reveals his ‘biggest insecurity’ about Mirzapur, refused to do Munna’s role: ‘I was worried about my body, started hunching’

He then shared that even for Guddu’s look, he almost fought with his director because he could not imagine the character with a full head of hair. “For Guddu, I had to almost fight with my director at the time that I don’t see him having hair.” He also shared that since he was required to bulk up for the role, he did not take any protein shakes or any other additives but just made changes to his diet and worked out. “My most boring time in my life was working out for Mirzapur. I couldn’t sleep. We would work out for three hours everyday and while doing that, you have to maintain your peace because we are creators. I refused using wrong means,” he said.

Ali said that when he walked on the set on the first day, he felt a bit insecure. “My biggest insecurity became the coolest thing about Mirzapur, which was that I always felt I was not ready with my body so I started hunching and I would be very insecure. First time I walked on the set, the director praised my walk. He said ‘genius, keep it’. But where is it coming from? Everyone is constantly watching you,” he shared. Ali said that he was quite insecure while filming the part.

The third season of the show will be released later this year.
