Shweta Tripathi on her character Golu Gupta

Introduced as a studious young woman who valued education, Golu Gupta has gradually become a more complex character as the story progressed. "When I first played Golu, she was a quiet, studious girl who believed in the power of education. But loss, violence, power, and revenge have completely changed her," she told Mid Day.

The actor also spoke about the personal connection she has developed with Golu over the years. "Her journey is special to me. Golu’s experiences have changed her. And she is still changing. But I think that’s what makes her human. I have grown as an actor while playing her too, so in many ways, we have grown together," she added.

Even after three seasons and a feature film, Shweta believes Golu's story has not exhausted its potential. "Every time I return to the character, I discover something new."

She further explains the role, saying, "As an actor, it is a beautiful space to be in because you are not just repeating something you have done before, you are going back to a person who has lived through more experiences. You have to understand what those experiences have done to her. I would love to keep discovering those different sides of her."

About Mirzapur

According to reports, the makers expect to finalise the production timeline by early 2027.

Season 4 was reportedly conceptualised alongside Mirzapur: The Movie, with the narrative expected to continue from the events of the third season's finale, which ended with the battle for control of Mirzapur still unresolved.

Guddu Pandit found himself in prison, while Golu was on the run, leaving the future of the region's criminal empire uncertain. Kaleen Bhaiya's return further complicated the struggle for power.
