Divyenndu on Mirzapur and Agni characters
Reacting to his Mirzapur's Munna Bhaiya and Agni's Samit characters, Divyenndu said that the two characters belong to completely different worlds.
He shared, "When we talk about Munna, there's a completely different world but doing Agni was also like I really liked it as an artist but it was also a responsibility that whatever we are doing we have to do it with all our heart, and just do it right."
Sharing more details about Agni, Divyenndu said that it is one of those films where thoroughly enjoyed his character but to be a part of that world was even more important for him. "I just wanted to be part of this film to represent what firefighters go through although I represent the police that's the whole banker of the film," he concluded.
Agni's plot

The trailer of Agni depicts the life of firefighters who risk their lives to save others. The story of two families - one a firefighter and the other a police inspector is explored.
