Ali Fazal, who portrays Guddu Bhaiya in the series, recently reflected on his journey with the character, admitting to initially challenging the director's vision regarding Guddu's appearance. Ali Fazal also revealed that since he was required to bulk up for the role, he did not take any protein shakes or any other additives. He shared that he had changed his diet and worked out a lot. "
In an interview with Jist, Ali said, "For Guddu, I had to almost fight with my director at the time that I don't see him having hair. My most boring time in my life was working out for Mirzapur. I couldn't sleep. We would work out for three hours every day and while doing that, you have to maintain your peace because we are creators. I refused using the wrong means."
