Quick Read
Considering Mirzapur: The Film is being designed as a prequel to the popular series Mirzapur, Shweta Tripathi had to go back to how she looked in the opening season. To achieve her character Golu Gupta’s agility and petite frame, the actor trained with co-star Ali Fazal’s personal fitness coach Rohit Tyson.
She says the fitness coach focused on restoring her lean muscle tone, enhancing reaction speed, and stabilising the core, as the show requires her to perform raw, close-combat action. About training throughout the 10-week Varanasi schedule, Tripathi says, “Rohit started by assessing my posture, core stability, and how I transferred weight during movement. After that, everything was built around efficiency.”
