Divyenndu Sharma garnered a massive fan following after essaying the gripping and spoilt son Munna Tripathi, of Mirzapur's gangster Akhandanand Tripathi aka Kaleen Bhaiya. But the actor was initially offered to play Vikrant Massey's character, Bablu Pandit, in the show.

Why did Divyenndu Sharma reject Vikrant Massey's character, Bablu Pandit, in Mirzapur?

In a throwback interview with Humans of Bombay, Divyenndu said, "Initially I was approached for Bablu's character. Went ahead and read it; everything was fine. But yeh jo Munna ka character tha, yeh kaun play karega, again, stupid, you know."
