As the release date of the highly-anticipated Mirzapur 3 draws near, the excitement among fans, industry insiders, and the audience is palpable.

Mirzapur 3: Vijay Varma calls playing twins ‘a magic trick’; says, “The child inside me feels very good when I see it”

Vijay Varma addresses the dual roles as ‘magical’

In a recent interview, Vijay opened up about the intricate process of playing twins on screen. He described the experience as both ‘tedious’ and ‘delightful’, saying, “The process is very technical and tedious but it’s the closest I have ever seen magic unfold. I did a little bit of one brother, and I did a little bit of the other brother and then the director did something, and they edited it in a way that now it looks like a magic trick.”

Actor elaborates on his experience of playing this character

Vijay’s portrayal of the Tyagi twins stands out as one of the most memorable characters in his career. Reflecting on the experience, he shared, “It was nice to see two of these brothers roaming around in the frame and interacting with each other. The child inside me feels very good. Although I was dropped off this delight this season because we see only one Tyagi and the other one is rest in peace. But nevertheless, with such tragedy being hit to the Tyagi family, there are so many reasons to come back and seek revenge.”
