Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, and created by Puneet Krishna, the film adapts one of India’s biggest and most successful OTT series into a large-scale cinematic event slated for release next year.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Munna Bhaiya (played by Divyendu) in a theatrical avatar as the Gurmmeet Singh-directed film reunites Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit, Divyendu as Munna Tripathi, and Abhishek Banerjee.
The film is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release in 2026, after which it will stream exclusively on Prime Video.
Mirzapur, one of the most popular Indian streaming series, revolves around Akhandanand Tripathi, a wealthy carpet exporter who is also the crime lord of Mirzapur. His unpredictable and violent son, Munna, is eager to inherit his father’s empire, but the power dynamics shift dramatically when he crosses paths with Guddu and Bablu. The series debuted in 2018, followed by its second season in 2020 and the third in 2024.
