On being asked about the character (Guddu Bhaiya) essayed by Ali on the much-loved web series and the rage around it, he said, "Yes, there is a huge rage, it's a very different take on this character and he's a bit grown and mature now.

From my side, I did something different, let's see how it goes."
Talking about the preparations he went through for the much-loved character 'Guddu Bhaiya' in Season 2 the 'Fukrey' star said, "This time the preparations were less, and I had to maintain the size of my body so I had my little share of gyming, cerebral preparation was also there. And since we had done the first season, it was a little memory and it really did help."

Earlier this week, the makers of Mirzapur shared a gripping trailer of the much-awaited second season.
The two-minute-thirty-eight-second trailer chronicles the world of Mirzapur that has become more about power, politics and revenge. It is about conspiracies and people double-crossing each other while carrying guns that they will not hesitate to use. This season does not stay confined to the violent world of Mirzapur, it takes people to the power corridors where a nexus between politics and criminals prevails.
The trailer also takes the viewers to a land beyond Mirzapur, a place that has its own set of violent and powerful families running various illegal businesses. The women of Mirzapur have become bolder and more complex. They will not hesitate in using any means to achieve their goals.
Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under their banner Excel Media & Entertainment, the second season of Mirzapur will premiere on October 23 on Amazon Prime Video.
