Prime Video’s flagship show, Mirzapur, became one of the groundbreaking series in India, and the love for the franchise grew so much that the makers confirmed a standalone film. After three blockbuster
seasons, the makers announced Mirzapur: The Film is officially in the works. While it’s been a while since there has been any update about the movie, it looks like Divyenndu, aka Munna Bhaiya, has given an update.
Starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu in their now-iconic roles of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu, and Munna, the show becomes the first-ever Indian OTT show to get a film adaptation. As fans waited with bated breath to watch the gripping drama, Divyenndu took to his Instagram and shared a series of pictures sitting in front of a beautiful hut and in the midst of a calming surrounding, but it’s the caption that hinted at something big.
Divyenndu’s Instagram Post
While sharing the pictures, Divyenndu wrote, “BHAUKAAL se pehle ki SHANTI.” For those who are unaware, Divyenndu’s character of Munna Bhaiya in Mirzapur often used the word “Bhaukaal” while speaking, which means this could be a hint that the actor is starting the shoot of the film soon.
This caption didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed netizens who started speculating. One wrote, “Bhaukaal hone wala hai 💀.” “Munna Bhaiya is back,” another one wrote. A third fan shared, “Jalwa h apka🔥.”
About Mirzapur: The Film
The news of Mirzapur: The Film has come after the show completed three seasons. The Amazon Prime Video series streamed its first season in 2018 and became a rage instantly. The series returned for the second season during the pandemic. The third season was released with much fanfare earlier this year.
Speaking about taking the series to the big screen, producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment said, “It is a landmark milestone for us to bring the quintessential Mirzapur experience to our audiences, yet again, but this time on the big screen. Throughout three successful seasons, this acclaimed franchise has struck all the right chords with fans through its powerful storytelling and memorable characters, from the likes of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Bhaiya, and Munna Bhaiya, to name a few. We believe that adapting such a treasured series into a film will undoubtedly make for an even more engrossing watch, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the world of Mirzapur like never before. We are stoked to collaborate with Prime Video, once again, and look forward to delivering a grand cinematic experience, which will truly live up to the expectations of our dedicated fanbase.”
