After the success of the first season of Mirzapur , the second season is all set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on 23 October. The series is packed with action and twists and is bound to leave one on the edge of one's seat. The Quint spoke with Ali Fazal about the second season of Mirzapur , the call for its 'boycott' on social media and more.

The Mirzapur actor also spoke about his international project Death on the Nile, where he plays Gal Gadot's cousin. When you read the script for the second season, what were the first thoughts you had about it?

So happy this gem of a film is now on its way to fruition.

Did the pressure of it doing so well in the first run ever occur to you? Ali Fazal: You know you do feel like suddenly there are lesser people who are carrying the burden of all the performances, and especially because my teaming with Vikrant Massey was so strong in part one, that suddenly I felt a bit lonely. The emotions are huge, so the stakes are high.

But at the time it was the wrong usage of my words or rather the wrong interpretation. At that time there were people, the youth of our country, they were outside. Ali Fazal: Oh but I always ask. For instance, when the first season came out, somebody wrote saying you have shown the world well but not as much as is prevalent.

"Girls Will Be Girls" is finally streaming on Prime.

There are patriarchal setups. And in a lot of areas in our country it still exists, and we know about it and when you show that then people ask questions about why you showed it. We are showing it because it exists and we are trying to empower these characters and break those thresholds that they are living with.
