The second season of Mirzapur also explored the concept of intimacy, complicated love equations and more in Golu Gupta (Shweta Tripathi Sharma) and Chote Tyagi's (played by Vijay Varma)'s storyline. Now, in a recent interview with News 18, Vijay Varma, who featured in double roles in the show, revealed that an intimacy coordinator was onboard Mirzapur 3 to make the actors feel comfortable. "If you learn the tools from intimacy coordination workshops, you can easily apply them on a set where there's none. I found the information and the exercises to be so helpful," Vijay Varma said.

Speaking of shooting the intimate scenes, Vijay Varma added, "It's similar to any other movement-based and touch-based exercise. So, sexual scenes are similar to action and dance sequences. These three have the same kind of prep where you'll be told what you can touch and what you cannot. Everything is understood in terms of what's your safe zone and no-go zone. In these scenes, you don't react to your feelings but stick to the structure of the choreography."
