बनारस में शुरू होगी फिल्म मिर्जापुर की शूटिंग: शरद शुक्ला का किरदार निभाने वाले एक्टर बोले- सीरीज के सीजन वन की टाइमलाइन पर आधारित होगी मूवी

Shooting of Mirzapur film starts in Banaras from the end of this month. This is the first such project in the country, which is turning into a film with a web series of beans title, artists and characters. An important character in this is Sharad Shukla, whose direct battle is with Tripathi families. Together, there is also a conflict with Guddu Pandit and Bablu Pandit. Sharad has been played by Anjum Sharma. Anjum has shared special things about the Mirzapur film. Presenting major excerpts:-

This experiment is probably being done for the first time in Indian cine history. Can you tell some interesting things about it?

This has never happened before. This is also a big challenge for the manufacturers, as they have no ‘reference point’. It has never happened that a film was made on such a popular show.

So is this film made by mixing stories of the first two seasons of the original series?

No, it is not so. Its story will be mainly based on the timeline of season 1, but its story will be completely new and different. This is a different parallel story.

Will this new story match the story of Ceej 1?

No, not at all. It has been written in such a way that when you watch the film, it will not hit the story of season 1 at all. It would not seem that “Hey, it happened there.” This is a different story in itself. For example, if you saw the events of Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the story of season 1, the film will be the story of Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of the same week. That is, you are at the same time, but have gone on a different path.

But will the names and identity of the characters be the same?

Yes, the character will remain exactly the same. There is no change in his name and identity. Only the developments will be slightly different.

So do this mean will it focus on the struggle between Jaunpur and Mirzapur?

Yes, we can say broadly that this story will show the struggle of Mirzapur vs Jaunpur very prominently. Whatever newness will come in this film, it will come out of this old controversy. The story of my character Sharad Shukla is also around a large scale. Actually, makers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani also expressed the same reason to cast me in the film. Otherwise, my character was dead in the third season of the web series. But he was brought back to the film.

Is there any new, big character in this film?

Yes, there is a new and interesting character, like a villain. He is also associated with this old struggle. I can say that he is also born from the conflict of the same Jaunpur and Mirzapur. Those who are playing Ravikishan.

Is this new character a relative of your character?

It is not directly relatives, but yes, he has a deep connection with those characters. When you watch the film, you will understand that this newness is also coming out of existing controversies, so that the audience can feel connected with him.

The web series is allowed to play very openly, what will be the effect of censorship in the film? Will it have abusive, violence or bold scenes?

Yes, all this will happen according to the format of the film. I am sure that the manufacturers must have taken care of this. Anyway, Mirzapur season rate season was slightly reduced. All these things had already reduced in season 3.

What was the reason for violence in season 3? Will this happen in the film too?

The violence in season 3 did not decrease, but its nature had changed. The purpose of violence in season 1 was to enjoy, where the characters saw violence as a sport. But in season 3, the same violence showed a sorrow, pain and intensity. She was shown seriously, not by lightness. As far as the film is concerned, there will be censorship in it, so it is necessary that it should be molded according to the film.

When are you start shooting for the film and where?

Shooting starts this month, the last week of September (around 25). The first and tall schedule will be in Benares, after which some indoor will be shot in Mumbai.

Have you got preparations like reading and look test?

Yes, the look test and reading are done. All this has happened more with new artists. For me, the set of Mirzapur is like a return home. Messages have also come from the producers that they are very happy to find us again in this journey.

Will Jitendra Kumar (Jeetu) play the role of Vikrant Massey in this film?

Yes, Jitendra Kumar is in the film. Both Vikrant and Jeetu are very good artists, but I do not have much communication with Jeetu. But I can say that their casting is very good. He has a naivety on his face, which looks like a ‘common man’. When he and Guddu Bhaiya are together, a very good contradiction will be seen.

What will be the songs in the film?

Yes, because it is a film, it will have songs. Music is an area that was not much discovered in the web series, but the film has full scope. This will add a new layer to the world of Mirzapur.

Will this experiment be successful? Can it become an alternative to films with big stars?

I think this experiment can be successful. Films like ‘Saira’ have proved that if the concept and story are good, the audience accepts any artist. Viewers now want a better story and ‘experience’ than ‘Star’. It can open a new path, where the story and acting get more importance, not just big budget and big stars. Films like ‘Saira’ did not ‘load’ the audience with much information. He gave the audience a chance to experience the story himself. The audience saw him like an empty page, and when the story, music and emotional aspect tied him, he liked this experience very much. When you sell something too exaggerated, the audience starts testing it, but if you politely present an interesting story, they look at it from the heart.

What is newness here in the film?

Even if the newness is not too much, the story will be introduced interesting and correctly. It is a matter of taste. Just as we like our favorite dish again and again, the audience likes to see a good story again and again, provided it is good. The success of ‘Mirzapur’ is also that people have liked his character, story and masala.

Can a story or film remain on just one star in today’s time?

No, that era is no longer. Today the audience see a lot in the reel and trailer before watching the film. Their hunger already ends. If even after that they want to see something, they need a newness and presentation in the story. Now the story cannot remain on any one star. It is also necessary to break the ‘Star Culture’.

Will Sharad Shukla also play the role in the film?

Yes, my character (Sharad Shukla) and some other characters are also in the film, because they found a lot of love in season 3. This is just for the love of fans. My film has a very interesting ‘cameo’. It is also necessary for the story as it brings a significant turn.

Does the film also have actors like Vijay Verma?

No, actors like Vijay Verma are not in this film. The film will mainly focus on the struggle between Jaunpur and Mirzapur.
