Ali Fazal teases the scary transition of Guddu Pandit in season 3

If you have binge-watched the show already, you know what he is talking about. Guddu Pandit started out as a budding bodybuilder in season 1 and was a naive character. However, he soon became entangled with the Tripathi family, led by crime boss Kaleen Bhaiya, played by Pankaj Tripathi. In season 2, he mourned the loss of his loved ones and soon turned into a hardened criminal who finally managed to take his revenge. Talking about the third season, he said, "Season three is not one moment. It¡¯s an entire season of an arc where this person, in one instance, is saying ¡®Violence is my USP,¡¯ and in another instance, he is a very lonely man, shouting, ¡®Maza aa raha hai na?¡¯ (Are you having fun?). You¡¯ll see another transition of its own kind and it¡¯s really scary."

He added, "I would love to hear from audiences, hopefully it has evolved. Hopefully, there is a graph that you can look back at and see how that has changed. And that¡¯s how human life changes. We get affected. These are people who are living in a very violent world, fictional but that¡¯s the story, and there are consequences in their lives. And that is the deterioration that I¡¯m portraying. I wouldn¡¯t say it is systematic but periodic deterioration of this man, this innocence of a college kid."
