The late, beloved actor Satish Kaushik graces the screen one last time in Mirg, now streaming on JioCinema following its successful theatrical release. Known for his unique ability to bring depth and warmth to his roles, Kaushik’s performance in Mirg serves as a moving tribute to his illustrious career.
Set in the mystical forests of Himachal Pradesh, Mirg is a genre-blending thriller that tells the story of Anil (played by Shwetaabh Singh), a young man set on revenge after a life-altering event. His journey leads him into the wilderness, where he confronts enemies and the haunting legend of the Mirg—a mystical snow leopard rooted deeply in regional folklore. Alongside Kaushik, Raj Babbar and Anup Soni deliver powerful performances, enriching the film’s suspenseful and complex narrative.
Director Tarun Sharma reveals that Mirg breaks traditional thriller conventions by incorporating elements of action, suspense, comedy, and mythology. Sharma highlights that the film explores the impact of myths on human behavior, particularly through the legendary Mirg snow leopard that symbolizes mystery and transformation in local lore.
Producer Rishi Anand shared how producing Mirg independently enabled unique creative choices, bringing an original story to both OTT platforms and cinemas.
