New Delhi: Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit in the Mirzapur franchise has a loyal fanbase since 2018. His character has evolved and had many layers added to it over the last three seasons. It is undoubtedly considered one of the turning points in his career that made his onscreen avatar a fan favourite. The actor is currently busy promoting Dino. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, the actor spoke about whether it gets a little bothersome with the audience circling back to Mirzapur, despite him working in varied genres. What's Happening Ali Fazal revealed that he is glad that the masses connect with his character in the Mirzapur franchise, considering he has been a consistent part of it. He furthermore shed light on how people sometimes remember your work, particularly by that one iconic project, in one part of the world. Ali Fazal told NDTV, "No, it doesn't bother me. Why should it? I'm constantly doing Mirzapur, and it's only growing. I'm glad people connect with that. In other countries, people connect with my International work and that's a separate audience that I have. So I know how people can tend to connect with you only through that one character. And so people always remember you by that in one part of the world." He added, "With my International audience, they react to the work they have seen in the West. Then that becomes the only thing they are circling back to. That is how people react in another part of the world. It becomes a benchmark for the next. I've seen that as well. So I guess it's a mixed bag of people appreciating at the end of the day. In a society filled with angry people, I don't think I would mind any kind of appreciation for the work we do."
