Women are very powerful players in 'Mirzapur 2': Sheeba Chadha

Mirzapur 2 is finally here, and like the fans, the cast is also excited about it. 

Recently, Rajesh Tailang and Sheeba Chaddha, who play Guddu's parents in the series told the Indian Express about what one can expect from the season and their characters.

Sharing how the anticipation among fans has even made the team excited, Chadha relayed how Mirzapur 2 will definitely bring some entertainment in everyone’s otherwise ‘locked in’ life. “I hope we don’t disappoint,” she said.

Not wanting to give out additional details about the series, Chadha added that the focus this time would be the tragic losses faced by the Pandit and his family. Having lost her son Bablu, daughter-in-law Sweety and unborn grandchild, her character Vasudha would be seen going through an emotional turmoil.

“Whatever happened in the first season will have its impact now," she said. "We’ll see how they handle such tragic deaths in the family. Given she is a mother, Vasudha’s character will also see a huge transition. I can’t wait for the audience to relish all the drama that’s packed in this season,” shared the 48-year-old actor.

Mirzapur revolves around the lawlessness and crime in the northern part of the country. While the men are at the helm of things, what amazed viewers was how the women were given equally strong roles.

Stating that consciously or subconsciously, the females have helped expand the universe of the series, Chadha continued. “The women have completely stood out, and it’s for various reasons. Be it the internal violence, harshness or emotions, there’s not one factor that I can point out. But their presence has played a part in expanding the universe. It’s like a separate kingdom in a kingdom. Women are very powerful players in Mirzapur. They may not be overt but they stand in their own right and separate light.”

The actor, who has been part of numerous films, TV shows and web series, went on to confess that she never thought Mirzapur would become such a hit. She enjoyed the script and claimed that only a very bad director could ruin it.
