If Ali Fazal had not been adamant, this most dreadful scene of Guddu Bhaiya would have been cut:
News India Live, Digital Desk: ‘Mirzapur’ is not just a web series but an emotion for all of us. Be it Guddu Pandit’s anger or Munna Bhaiya’s attitude, the intoxication of it has not subsided till date. But do you know that there is a scene in this series, without which ‘Mirzapur’ would seem incomplete, it is actually cancel was going to happen?
Yes, this story has been narrated by Ali Fazal himself. If Ali had not been adamant on his “insistence” on the shooting set that day, perhaps we would not have got to see that ferocious avatar of Guddu Bhaiya.
Come, let us tell you the complete story of that day of shooting. Inside Story Let us tell.
Falling evening and director’s tension
This incident is from that scene of ‘Mirzapur’ Season 1, where Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal) goes to kill Rati Shankar Shukla. Remember that scene? Where Guddu Bhaiya first recites the Hindi alphabet (K, Kh, Ga…) and then shoots? That scene in itself was hair-raising.
It so happened that on the day this scene was to be shot, it was evening. the sun was setting fast and Natural Light It was ending. Lighting is very important in filmmaking. The director and the technical team felt that it would be dark now, and the scene was too heavy, and it would not be possible to shoot it.
The makers had almost made up their mind that “Let’s pack up today, this scene won’t happen again.” He was being put in the cancel list.
Guddu Bhaiya said- “Just give me one chance!”
Usually actors become happy after hearing the pack-up, but Ali Fazal was completely engrossed in the character of ‘Guddu Pandit’ at that time. He had memorized it and he did not want to let that anger and passion cool down.
Ali stopped the makers and said, “Dude, please don’t cancel it. The lights are going out, right? No problem, I can do it.” One Take I will do it.”
The director was feeling risky because if the right shot was not taken at once, the whole day would have been wasted. But everyone had to bow down to Ali’s confidence. He asked to roll the camera.
And then history was created…
Ali Fazal came in front of the camera. As the lights were going off, he completed the entire ‘K, Kha, Ga’ dialogue and the scene of killing Rati Shankar Shukla in one breath, without any mistake. That shot was so perfect that everyone present on the set was stunned.
Ali explains that it was all a game of luck. He remembered all that and he just wanted to bring out that emotion. If that scene had been postponed to the next day, perhaps that ‘natural madness’ that we see on screen today would not have been able to come in it.
Now what next?
Friends, it is the result of this dedication that ‘Mirzapur’ has become a cult classic today. Now there is also talk of ‘Mirzapur: The Film’. Let’s see what new creation Ali Fazal creates in it.
