Filmmaker Karan Anshuman recently opened up about actor Divyenndu and the difference between two of his most talked-about roles, giving fans a more personal peek into the creative process behind the scenes.
Talking about the cult series Mirzapur, Anshuman explained that Divyenndu’s character, Munna Tripathi, was something that was carefully “constructed.” In simple terms, it means the character was built step by step to fit perfectly into the intense and violent world of the show. From his loud personality to his unpredictable behavior, everything about Munna was designed to make an impact. And it worked Munna became one of the most memorable and talked-about characters on Indian OTT platforms.
But when it comes to Glory, things are very different. Anshuman shared that this role is much more personal and closer to who he is as a person. Unlike Munna, who was shaped mainly by the demands of the story, the character in Glory reflects real emotions, thoughts, and experiences. “It’s based on me,” Anshuman said, which makes the role feel more genuine and relatable. This shift shows how storytelling can move from dramatic fiction to something more real and heartfelt.
For Divyenndu, this also marks an important step in his acting journey. Audiences are used to seeing him in intense and slightly eccentric roles, but Glory allows him to show a softer, more layered side. Instead of just being loud or aggressive, his character here is more emotional and grounded. It proves that he is not just a one-type actor but someone who can adapt to different kinds of roles with ease.
Anshuman’s comments also highlight how web series in India are changing. Earlier, shows focused more on shock value, crime, and high drama. Now, there is a growing space for stories that feel real and personal. Viewers are connecting more with characters who seem like real people rather than larger-than-life figures.
In the end, this comparison between Mirzapur and Glory is not just about two roles it’s about how storytelling itself is evolving. And for fans, it offers a fresh reason to appreciate both Divyenndu’s performance and Karan Anshuman’s vision in a whole new light.
