Mumbai, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
For ‘Mirzapur’ director Gurmmeet Singh, the key to sustaining the popular franchise lies in doing justice to its scripts rather than worrying about preserving its established identity or reinventing it.
Speaking about the creative approach behind the series and its upcoming film, Singh said the scripts themselves offer enough creative challenges to keep the team focused on bringing their stories to life on screen.
He explained that his primary responsibility as a director is to recreate the excitement and enjoyment he experiences while reading a ‘Mirzapur’ script.
“The main thing is to do justice to what has been written on paper. Can we translate the excitement and enjoyment we experience while reading a ‘Mirzapur’ script onto the screen? I think that is the primary task at hand,” he said.
Singh believes that when the creative team concentrates on the material, other aspects of maintaining the franchise’s identity or introducing changes fall into place naturally.
He also described working on ‘Mirzapur’ as an enjoyable experience, comparing the shoot to going on a picnic rather than taking up a stressful assignment.
According to the director, the cast and crew look forward to returning to the franchise, and their enthusiasm makes the shooting process enjoyable.
“Everyone is very excited to be part of the shoot. It is not something that feels stressful or like an obligation. Shooting for ‘Mirzapur’ is something we genuinely enjoy and look forward to. And I think that enjoyment ultimately reflects on the screen,” he said.
Singh added that the team’s shared enthusiasm, built over years of working on the franchise, contributes to the experience that eventually reaches viewers.
