The actor recalled that the scene where Munna Tripathi's character breaks into their house to kill the Pandit family was shot over three nights, and that scene took over 100 cuts to shoot. This scene was shot in Varanasi.
Reflecting on the experience, Rajesh said: "We shot the first scene in a house, where Munna comes and the shootout happens. It took three nights to film with about 103-107 cuts. It was an exciting experience though. A little scene.”
The actor also revealed how he was approached by casting director Anmol Abhishek, who is also an actor and manages casting for various projects.
"Abhishek called me for the audition. I am in Delhi most of the time, so I asked my cousin to help me record it. My cousin brought along a friend who worked as a graphic designer in an advertising agency. "I got him to play the role of the knife man in my audition tape," he added.
This audition, presented around 2017-2018, marked the beginning of Rajesh's journey with 'Mirzapur'.
The actor said, “When you audition, you get to know the character and the world they are in, but the full picture comes only later. Initially I did not know that 'Mirzapur' would become such a big hit and become a part of pop culture.
Tailang was pleasantly surprised by the engaging script and the swag of each character.
He said, "The dialogue was fun to read and speak. There was something special about the series that made it a joy to present."
