Shweta Tripathi says ‘story sells’ as she defends Mirzapur: ‘People will not watch just guns and gaali'

Actor Shweta Tripathi Sharma recently opened up about her hit show Mirzapur when asked about the audience preferring violent content over comedy.

Talking about it, she previously refused to reveal any details about forthcoming season of the series except that Golu will be seen doing 'a lot' this season.

So as long as the story is good, it will be appreciated. The biggest examples of films that did well without violence are 3 Idiots, Dil Chahta Hai or Lagaan. None of the films had violence but still, they did wonders at the box office."
