- Ali Fazal shared insights into the film adaptation of Mirzapur.
- Fazal has fueled the anticipation with new details.
- He revealed whether the film would be a Mirzapur prequel.
In a recent roundtable discussion with The Hollywood Reporter India, Ali, who plays Guddu Pandit in the hit web series, shared insights into the upcoming project. While he didn't confirm if the film is a prequel, he hinted at intriguing possibilities, saying, “It has to be back in time because there are like some dead people walking.”
When asked if the film would be a Mirzapur prequel, Ali responded, “You will find out. But we are really excited to bring it to the theatres. Peaky Blinders also did that. It wasn’t like a one-off or an odd choice of move.” The film, created by Puneet Krishna and directed by Gurmmeet Singh, is set for release in 2026.
The movie will reunite the original cast, including Pankaj Tripathi (Kaleen Bhaiya), Ali Fazal (Guddu Pandit), and Divyenndu (Munna), along with Abhishek Banerjee, who plays the compounder. The film will first hit theaters before streaming on Prime Video India. Produced by Excel Entertainment, it follows the success of the Mirzapur series, which released its first season in 2018, the second in 2020, and the third in 2024.
