Harshita Gaur Breaks Silence On Jitendra Kumar Replacing Vikrant Massey In Mirzapur: The Movie

When asked about Jitendra Kumar replacing Vikrant Massey in Mirzapur: The Movie, Harshita Gaur said, “Dekho, fans ke point of view se main yeh bol sakti hoon ki jo bahut hardcore Vikrant fans honge… Aur Vikrant obviously, he is a fabulous actor. Unhone bahut achha Bablu Pandit ka character kiya aur apni life mein, mashallah, bahut achha kar rahe hain. But agar hum purely yeh dekhein ki Jitendra ke aane se kuch aisa aapko miss lagega. Toh main definitely keh sakti hoon ki woh nahi lagega.”

She continued, “Kyunki Jitendra ne bahut achhe se woh innocence aur Bablu Pandit ka jo character hai, woh nibhaya hai. Humein nahi laga — matlab, humein dekhne mein bhi nahi laga, na unke saath kaam karne mein laga. Jab unko phir screen par kuch scenes ke liye dubbing-vubbing karte hain ya dekhte hain, toh kabhi aisa feel nahi hua ki kuch miss lag raha hai.”

Concluding the actress said, “Bahut achhe se, seamlessly, Guddu ka character aur Bablu ka character, jo ab Jitendra play kar rahe hain, synchronise hogaye hain. Toh I don’t think wahan pe... Yeh log bol sakte hain ki, ‘Arre, hum Vikrant ko miss kar rahe hain.’ Because hum uske fans hain ya jo bhi. Lekin Jitendra bhaiya bhi achhe lag rahe hain. Aisa bhi hai ki bhaiya ki bhi fan base hai. Aisa toh definitely ho sakta hai ki woh bolenge. Baaki, jahan dil laga hota hai, wahan toh aap chahte hi ho na ki woh insaan hota.”

Mirzapur The Movie is all set to release on 4th September in Hindi & Telugu.
