Mirzapur The Movie Teaser Munna Bhaiya Return Sets Up Origin Story Guddu Pandit Pankaj Tripathi Ali Fazal Divyenndu

. The film, a prequel to the mega-successful Amazon Prime Video show, sees the return of Divyenndu’s Munna and Bablu Pandit, now played by Jitendra Kumar.

The teaser elaborates that this is an origin story, set in 2018, before and alongside the events of season one. This means that Munna, who died at the end of season 2, is still alive here. Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) is worried that his son Munna is not the ideal heir to his throne. Meanwhile, the Pandit brothers - Ali Fazal and Jitendra - are on their own path to dismantle the empire of Munna and set themselves up as the kings of Mirzapur. The teaser shows several familiar faces from the show, and introduces a new character played by Ravi Kishan, who gets his fair share or seetimaar moments.

The reactions to the teaser of the Mirzapur movie have largely been positive. Most fans hailed the return of Munna, one of the most loved characters from the show. “A character so goated that the makers had to make an entire film for his return, iykyk,” quipped one fan. Another added, “Finally Munna Bhaiya is back.”

Many others lamented that while Divyenndue had returned, Vikrant Massey did not. The actor played Bablu Pandit in Mirzapur season 1. His character was killed in the season finale. The film brings the character back, but it's played by Jitendra now. “Vikrant Massey missed,” wrote one viewer. However, another showed faith in Jitendra's interpretation of the character and added, “ONLY here for our Jeetu bhaiyaaa!!!”

Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmeet Singh, written by Puneet Krishna, and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment. The film is co-produced by Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani. Mirzapur is set for a theatrical release in Hindi and Telugu on 4 September 2026.

Mirzapur premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2018 and was an instant success. Two seasons followed in 2020 and 2024. The third season received some criticism for its pacing and plot, but remained popular with the audience. The film is meant to culminate the story.
