“It was interesting for this character to go through an interesting experiment like this with Golu. On the surface, she comes across as a very normal and cutesy girl. But people forget that in her first scene, she’s seen reading an erotica of a certain nature in a library. She’s bent differently and she introduces him to it.”
The actor also highlighted the significance of intimacy coordinators, stating that unlike the first two seasons, Mirzapur season 3 had one on set. He emphasized the importance of workshops with intimacy coordinators in creating a protected environment during the shoot and how the information and exercises learned can be applied even in the absence of a coordinator.
