Ali Fazal revealed that he wasn't offered the character Guddu Pandit in 'Mirzapur', which he eventually went on to play in the series. He shared that he was offered Divyenndu's role (Munna Tripathi) in the show. "But I said, 'No, this is the one (Guddu) I can understand' because I thought I could bring something to the table," said Ali.
