He also said that he never thought that his character or the show would become a cultural phenomenon when he first came out.“When Mirzapur came to me, it was basically a group of happy people coming together. There were a lot of amazing women who were there as well, but mostly the show had, say, probably 85 percent men involved, both in front of and behind the camera. It was just a group of people who got together and said, ‘Let’s do this show.’ it was based in rural India at a time when such stories were still uncommon in mainstream entertainment. “So it was a group of people getting together, going out there and giving our testosterone, our manhood, or fatherhood, if you will.”He also reminisced about the overwhelming response he received after its release and how Bablu Pandit became a household name almost overnight. “I vividly remember that I was in Lucknow the day the show came out. I was shooting for a film called Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi. I was doing a shift from 7 am to 7 pm. I entered the place around 6 or 6:30 am. It wasn’t even the right light. But by the time the shoot was about to end, I heard a commotion outside the place. The director and the assistants were having a bit of a hard time controlling the sound because we were shooting a mix of sound. And we realized that there were at least 200-300 people outside the place because the news was that Bablu Bhaiya was shooting there.Reflecting on this memorable moment, Vikrant said he was taken back by the amount of love from the audience, especially since it happened less than a day after the show started. “And this happened within 24 hours. The show started at 12 midnight, and this was the following evening, so maybe after 17-18 hours. There were people on bicycles following my car. They wanted pictures with me, they wanted selfies, and autographs. And that’s when we realized that we really did something good, something that people were enjoying a lot.“
