As soon as the makers of Mirzapur announced the streaming date of the second season, fans are waiting to see the cast reprise their iconic roles. One of the most favourite characters from the show is Kaleen Bhaiyya played by none other than Pankaj Tripathi. Along with him, the show also has Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Amit Sial, Anjum Sharma, Sheeba Chaddha, Manu Rishi Chadha and Rajesh Tailang reprising their roles.

Now, talking about Kaleen Bhaiyya 2.0, Pankaj called the character as a version of Mogambo, Shakaal and Gabbar Singh. He stated, "Earlier, the idea of villains was limited; they were over-the-top in their tonality. With Mirzapur, Gurgaon and Sacred Games, I have explored the dark side of the human psyche in depth."

Sharing more about the villainous role, Tripathi went on to say, "They are writing negative characters that do more than have an ominous laugh. There are strong backstories that define why the man is a certain way. He doesn't look outright villainous because you are familiar with the many facets of the man. He is a 2.0 version of Mogambo, Shakaal and Gabbar of yesteryear."
