The makers of the show Mirzapur recently revealed a very interesting backstory on how they named Akhandanand Tripathi as 'Kaleen Bhaiya' and how it almost got changed to 'Atechi' or 'Sandook' bhaiya.

In a recent interview, show creator Puneet Krishna shared, "During the '90s while growing up, there was this belt of UP johnpur, Mirzapur where a lot kaleen's were made. World's largest exporter of kaleen's. So when I wrote Mirzapur, I kept that in mind and named him Kaleen bhaiya Coz we had in mind that he would smuggle the drugs under the carpets. And there's a certain power to this term Kaleen bhaiya."
