The world of Mirzapur is about to get bigger. After ruling the digital space for three seasons, the popular crime drama is moving to theatres with a full length feature film. The makers have confirmed the return of Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Divyenndu in their iconic roles as Guddu, Kaleen Bhaiya and Munna. Now, two more names have been added to the star cast. Actors Jitendra Kumar and Ravi Kishan are reportedly part of the film. This news has fueled the excitement among the audience.

The source added, “The look tests and reading sessions of the cast have already started and will continue for next few days. Jitendra and Ravi have also joined the pre production work. The film will go on floors next month.”
What to Expect From the Film

The Mirzapur movie was initially announced in 2024 with a teaser clip with Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu. Ever since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating how the creators would bring the raw violence, political maneuvering and convoluted family drama of Mirzapur onto the big screen.

In a past interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ali Fazal hinted that the film could take audiences back in time. Without giving away too much, he teased that some dead people would return, leaving fans to speculate about whether the movie is a prequel. He compared the move to what Peaky Blinders did when it extended its story into a film.

With Ravi and Jitendra entering, the story is set to take a dramatic new turn that might alter Mirzapur’s dynamics for good.
