Divyendu and Ali Fazal Tease Ravi Kishan's Gucci Step
The Unscripted Dance-Off at a Mirzapur Promo Event
Bharatmorningnews.com – Divyendu and Ali Fazal tease Ravi Kishan in a clip that has already racked up millions of views across social platforms. At a promotional gathering for the upcoming Mirzapur film, actor-politician Ravi Kishan was caught mid-celebration after recreating his now-iconic Gucci dance step alongside a photographer. He hugged the shutterbug, turned to walk away, and walked straight into Divyendu Shah and Ali Fazal — both frozen mid-mimicry of the very same move, beaming at the cameras.
Ravi burst out laughing, ducked back inside the venue, and handed the dance floor over to his two co-stars. The Mirzapur cast then joined forces in a spontaneous group rendition of the viral step, transforming a routine photo-op into a clip that spread rapidly across social platforms within hours of the event.
From Political Figure to Gen Z Meme Icon
The Gucci step is merely one thread in a far larger tapestry. Over recent months, Ravi Kishan's theatrical on-screen expressions have been endlessly looped, remixed, and recontextualised by young creators online. What began as a handful of clips snowballed into a full-blown internet phenomenon, with official accounts — including the BJP's social-media handle, Delhi Police, and the Maharashtra Government — all chipping in with their own meme variations.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Ravi credited the younger generation for embracing him in ways no earlier audience ever had. He described the affectionate nicknames fans have bestowed — Lord Ravi, God Ravi, "today's Osho" — and framed them as proof that audiences connect with his humanity rather than a polished, curated persona.
"The best part is that this is happening organically. Even the BJP handle, Delhi Police and Maharashtra Government have made memes. I am personally following it all and dropping a 'like' as well. No one has discovered me before. Now, they want to see me more and know me more. Gen Z has accepted me as their own. I really want to thank them and salute their creativity."
"Out of love, they call me Lord Ravi, God Ravi, today's Osho and whatnot! They love real people; they connect with my imperfections, which makes them feel I am one amongst them. Everyone makes mistakes, so do I and I accept it as well. Main dil se bolta hoon aur meri sacchai logon ko pasand aa rahi hai (I speak from the heart and that is why people are liking me)."
Mirzapur: The Movie — What to Expect
The film, helmed by Gurmeet Singh with a screenplay by Puneet Krishna, extends the narrative of the Prime Video web series that debuted in 2018. It picks up where the show left off, reuniting several of the franchise's most recognisable figures. Pankaj Tripathi returns as Kaleen Bhaiya, Divyendu Shah reprises Munna Bhaiya, and Ali Fazal steps back into the role of Guddu Pandit. One notable casting shift: the character of Bablu Pandit, previously embodied by Vikrant Massey across the series, will be played by Jitendra Kumar on the big screen.
For Ravi Kishan, the film marks his turn as the central antagonist — a role that, given his current internet fame, arrives with an unprecedented wave of audience curiosity already in tow. The Divyendu and Ali Fazal tease moment only deepened that curiosity, reminding viewers that the Mirzapur universe still has plenty of chaos left to deliver.
