The anticipation surrounding ‘Mirzapur 3’ reached an all-time high after its trailer release, and Vijay Varma’s latest social media post has only fueled the frenzy. The actor, known for his compelling performances, shared insights about his character in the upcoming season, adding to the excitement.
Vijay Varma’s Character in Mirzapur 3
In his post, Vijay Varma delved into the complexities of his role, reflecting on his experience from the previous season. He explained, “In Season 2, I played the role of twin brothers. As an actor, playing two characters was challenging, but what helped me was the vision of seeing them separately and making them interact with each other. This season, the biggest challenge was to pack both of them into one character. I felt I had a split personality. All these conflicts are still within me. I’ve never been so torn as an actor,” he wrote.
Distinct Personas of Bharat and Shatrughan
Varma’s portrayal of twin brothers Bharat and Shatrughan was a standout in ‘Mirzapur 2’. He explained their distinct personas: “Bharat is responsible, with the entire business on his shoulders. As the elder brother, it’s necessary for him to be wise. Shatrughan is a free bird. The love he didn’t get from his own, he seeks in the world. But you see, this is Mirzapur, and here, people are always looking for an opportunity to take advantage for themselves.”
Character Transformation and Conflict
The actor further elaborated on the turmoil and conflicts his character faces, hinting at a significant transformation. “Our father advised us against the drug business. But the drive to prove ourselves and the pursuit of love led us astray. We thought our father would be proud and see us as capable. However, the mistakes made by the younger brother were unforgivable. We didn’t want to, but circumstances forced us to pick up guns. Whether Vijay’s character this time is the younger or the elder brother, only time will tell, but I’m confident it will resonate with you,” he shared.
