Mirzapur Takes a Bold Leap to Cinema with ‘Mirzapur: The Film’ Announcement
In an exciting development for fans of the gripping crime drama, Mirzapur is set to make a bold leap into cinema with the announcement of Mirzapur: The Film. This news follows the recent release of Season 3, generating buzz across social media platforms.
Prime Video India unveiled this cinematic venture through a teaser that showcases key cast members, including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, and Abhishek Banerjee. The teaser, lasting over a minute, has reignited interest in the franchise, particularly with the unexpected suggestion of Divyenndu’s return as Munna Tripathi—a character whose fate was dramatically sealed in Season 2. In a standout moment from the teaser, Divyenndu boldly states, “I’m a Hindi film hero. A Hindi film is best enjoyed in a theatre. Need I remind you, I’m immortal?” The playful social media post accompanying the teaser was captioned, “While everyone enjoys sweets on Diwali, here’s the authentic treat from Mirzapur.”
Directed by Gurmmeet Singh and crafted by Puneet Krishna, Mirzapur: The Film is slated for release in 2026. Fans can expect to reunite with beloved characters like Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) and Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal), alongside Abhishek Banerjee, who is anticipated to reprise his role as the compounder.
After its theatrical premiere, the film will be available for streaming on Prime Video, accessible to subscribers in India and over 240 countries and territories eight weeks post-release. This marks a significant expansion for the Mirzapur franchise, which is renowned for its intense narratives and multifaceted characters.
Producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar expressed their excitement about this new direction, stating, “Bringing the essence of Mirzapur to the big screen is an exciting milestone for us. The series has resonated deeply with fans, thanks to its rich storytelling and unforgettable characters.” They further added, “Transforming this beloved series into a feature film allows us to offer a more immersive experience for our audience. We are thrilled to partner with Prime Video again and are committed to delivering a cinematic adventure that will exceed the expectations of our loyal viewers.”
As anticipation builds for Mirzapur: The Film, fans are eager to see how the franchise continues to evolve while maintaining the essence that has made it a cultural phenomenon.
