Kangana Ranaut Criticises Mirzapur, ‘This is What Happens When You Glorify Criminals’

In their recent interviews, actors Ali Fazal and Divyenndu admitted being scared that the viewers might get inspired by his character. Speaking to News18 Divyenndu said, “I definitely feel scared. Because the kind of messages that I receive from fans are often very influenced. I was recently shooting in Benaras, two 13 or 14-year-old boys came to me and said, ‘Thank you sir, aap logon se bahut inspire hote hain Mirzapur mein.’ So, I got a little scared and started wondering whether they were getting inspired by my character or me.”

Whereas Ali Fazal told Zoom that there is a lot of violence on the show and seeing young boys sharing the images from the show who might follow the abusive behaviour, he got a bit disturbed. He suggested using the abuse sparingly. However, he said people become so eager to draw the line of what’s good or bad only comes when “quality-content” is shared.
