Mirzapur Munna Bhaiya, News, New Delhi: Actor Divyendu continues to surprise fans with every role, from laughing at the audience in Pyaar Ka Panchnama to win his heart with his strong acting as Munna Bhaiya in Mirzapur. Recently, he appeared in the music video ‘Julmi Sanwaria’, where he displayed his soft side dancing and romancing to Garba’s tunes. Along with this, he also made headlines by removing his surname “Sharma”. In an impeccable conversation, the actor spoke openly about his decisions, experiences and upcoming projects.

On the discovery of romance and dance after dark and comic roles

“When I received the proposal, I was really excited. It felt like a new challenge, something I had never done before. I have danced in some films before, but did not dance on Gujarati Garba. So, I thought, why not be done? It was fun to experiment with a different style of performance.”

On your first garba experience

“I have never done garba before, except when I was in FTII, when we had kept Garba Knight in the campus. At that time, whatever small steps we used to do, Garba is fun because everyone does it together-performing or watching, both are equally enjoyable. Was fun. “

Choosing most comedy after Mirzapur

“To be honest, the choice of my project depends on the script. If the world excite me and the character feels new, I choose it. Comedy makes it its own way because life is full of humor. But I do not plan styles – the story matters.”

On removing your surname ‘Sharma’

“Legite, my documents still have ‘Divyendu Sharma’ written, but as an artist, I think the first name for identity should be enough. I do not want to carry the burden of caste or religion. I have been thinking about it since my college days. Finally, I decided that people should know me only by the name of Divyendu. Still has importance, so I wanted to get out of this notion. “

Telugu cinema starts

“Working in Telugu cinema has been a wonderful and fresh experience. Working with Ram Charan, director Gucci Babu and the entire team was fantastic. It reminded me of my love’s days of Panchnama – learning a new language, molding in a new culture, meeting new people. Everything new, and it made it memorable.”

When tagged as ‘Munna Bhaiya’

“It has been most positive. If people remember you for your work, this is the biggest praise. As Shakespeare said, ‘What is the name in the name?’ This is your skill that defines you. Of course, no one should stop the burden of a successful character with you, but I believe in searching for new places. “

Returning as Munna in Mirzapur film

“I was not a part of Mirzapur 3, but yes, I am in the film Mirzapur. To be honest, I am nervous. It is a difficult task to understand Munna’s psychology again – he is a deep and serious character. It takes a lot of time to go to that scope and then come out. I hope that I will be able to hold his essence once again.”
