They believe the transition to film will offer audiences a new way to experience the story’s grit and power. Both producers highlighted the franchise’s popularity across seasons and noted the excitement of collaborating with Prime Video again to present a grand theatrical production that meets the expectations of loyal fans.
Manish Menghani, Prime Video India’s content licensing director, emphasized the lasting impact of Mirzapur on Indian audiences, citing its engaging characters, memorable dialogue, and gripping storyline. He shared that Prime Video’s collaboration with Excel Entertainment on the film adaptation signifies an ambitious evolution for the franchise. While the complete cast has yet to be disclosed, speculation continues that original cast members will reprise their roles. The announcement video hinted at Divyenndu’s return, while rumors about Hrithik Roshan joining as Kaleen Bhaiya remain unconfirmed.
