"I adore Ali. I've known him for a few years now. We met at Prithvi (Theatre) and even did a play together. I was absolutely thrilled when I got to know that he is going to be a part of Mirzapur. I couldn't be happier with the casting of our series," said Shweta.

All episodes of "Mirzapur", which is being made for Amazon Prime Video, will be shot in Uttar Pradesh.
