Pankaj Tripathi shoots for Mirzapur: The Film in Varanasi

Pankaj Tripathi stepped out and walked while a mob gathered around and were controlled by the bodyguards in Varanasi. The actor walked as the sets lit up to welcome his character Kaleen Bhaiyya in King Size. The crowd was under control but waiting to break free to have a chance to meet Pankaj Tripathi. While he greeted them, the actor also instantly got into character and left with three SUVs, all dedicated to Kaleen Bhaiyya (the name literally printed at the back of the automobiles).
