MUMBAI: ‘Mirzapur’ has become one of the most popular web series in the world of OTT entertainment, and its third season has only solidified its status. Priyanshu Painyuli, who portrayed the memorable character of Robin effortlessly in the latest season, had a whale of a time shooting with his co-star and close friend Ali Fazal, as they bonded over music while shooting for the edgy drama.
Talking about his camaraderie with Ali, Priyanshu shares, “We have been old friends and admirers of each other’s work. We also share a lot of music with each other whenever we used to get ready as Guddu and Robin in our changing rooms and vanity vans and whenever we would catch up, I did make sure that I made him listen to new tracks. Our music taste is also similar. Similarly, he would do that as well. We were listening to different techno versions of Spiderman music which we both love. He made me hear some and I made him hear my collection. I think I can talk to Ali about everything without thinking twice and that’s the kind of the bond we share. Though we are on-screen rivals, in real life, we are very close friends. I can call him my big brother.”
Priyanshu further adds, “I texted him after watching the whole series (‘Mirzapur 3’) that I was a friend, colleague, and co-actor since long but now I have become a big fan of him for life because the things he has done as an actor in the third season of Mirzapur are incredible. There are certain layers and very intricate small details that he has put in his character and the way he has achieved that is so beautiful that it looks so natural and organic. I am a big fan of him now.”
The heartfelt camaraderie between Priyanshu and Ali not only enhances their off-screen bond but also adds depth to their on-screen performances, making ‘Mirzapur 3’ a must-watch for fans of the series.
