Divyenndu calls his ‘Mirzapur’ character Munna a troubled soul

‘The Railway Men’ star Divyendu, who is currently receiving a lot of positive responses for his film ‘Madgaon Express’, very recently shared that his character of Munna Tripathi from the streaming series ‘Mirzapur’ is a troubled soul.

The actor also shared that he will not be a part of the upcoming third season of the ‘Prime Video’ show.

The actor told ‘Human of Bombay’, “I shall declare, I am not a part of ‘Mirzapur’ season 3.”

In an unexpected twist, at the end of the second season of the crime drama, his character Munna was killed. However, fans continued to speculate conspiracy theories that Munna Tripathi is in fact alive. But the actor’s statement cleared the air.

Talking about his character, Divyendu said, “For me, Munna was a really troubled soul. I knew that this was a banger of a script and it would be iconic. It would explode. But, funnily enough, initially, I was approached for Babloo’s character but then a couple of days later they realised I would be a much better fit for Munna.”

“When I was in character, it was affecting my personality a lot. We shouldn’t over-romanticise going too deep into a character because it is not easy. At times it used to get really dark for me. I felt suffocated. It’s so tricky that you don’t even realise that you are in that zone. It’s only when you come out of it you realise how dark it was,” he added.
