Talking about the new season, Rasika said: "The ‘Mirzapur' audience is very loyal. The first question to any of my posts on social media is always 'Mirzapur season 2 kab aayega'. So am happy that we are finally bringing season 2. I am sure they will feel the wait has been worth it, as season 2 has a lot to offer. They will get to meet their favourite characters again and will also be introduced to some very interesting new ones. On my part, I thoroughly enjoyed being Beena Tripathi again. We will see a different side of her this season but just as powerful and unpredictable."

"‘Mirzapur' was not just about breaking boundaries for the audiences, but also for ourselves as content creators. Bringing thrilling and untold stories from India's hinterland without losing authenticity has been our biggest win. All the praise that season one of ‘Mirzapur' has received, not just in India, but across the globe, is heartening," said producer Ritesh Sidhwani about the show, which releases on Amazon Prime Video.
