The world of Mirzapur just got bigger and better! In a thrilling announcement that has left fans buzzing, Prime Video has confirmed the arrival of Mirzapur: The Film, a full-fledged cinematic adaptation of the cult crime series. The film, set to release theatrically in 2026, promises to deliver an electrifying experience with all the grit, power struggles, and unforgettable characters that have defined the franchise. And here’s the cherry on top following its theatrical run, the movie will stream exclusively on Prime Video in India and across 240 countries, ensuring fans everywhere get their share of Mirzapur’s madness.
The announcement came via a 90-second video shared on X (formerly Twitter), featuring the powerhouse trio of Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu, alongside Abhishek Banerjee. The teaser has not only confirmed the return of beloved characters like Kaleen Bhaiya and Guddu Pandit but also dropped an intriguing bombshell – Munna Tripathi, played by Divyenndu, might not be as dead as we thought. In true Munna style, Divyenndu declares, “I’m a Hindi film hero. A Hindi film is best enjoyed in a theatre. Need I remind you, I’m immortal,” hinting that his character’s arc is far from over. If this line alone doesn’t set the stage for an epic showdown, what will?
Fans who’ve followed the franchise since its debut know that Mirzapur has built its legacy on unpredictable plot twists, unforgettable dialogues, and power-packed performances. From Kaleen Bhaiya’s composed menace to Guddu Pandit’s brutal rise to power, the series has captured the imagination of millions. The film, directed by Gurmmeet Singh and created by Puneet Krishna, aims to take that same energy to the big screen. The makers, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment, have promised a “grand cinematic experience,” emphasizing that the essence of Mirzapur will only be heightened by the film’s larger-than-life treatment.
The decision to take Mirzapur from streaming success to the grandeur of theatres isn’t just a bold move – it’s a celebration of what the franchise has achieved over three seasons. With each installment raising the stakes, from Guddu’s vengeful rampage to Kaleen Bhaiya’s political maneuvering, the series has established itself as one of the finest crime thrillers on Indian screens. And with the return of Abhishek Banerjee’s eerie compounder, fans can expect even more layers of dark humor and unpredictable chaos.
Prime Video’s decision to announce the movie around Diwali has also added a festive flair to the reveal. The platform teased fans with the line, “Diwali pe sabko mithai milti hai, lekin yeh lo, Mirzapur ki asli barfi,” hinting at the sweet yet sinister delights awaiting them. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as it aligns with the series’ tradition of dropping surprise bombshells right when the audience least expects them.
Pankaj Tripathi, known for his nuanced portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya, brings a quiet intensity to every role he plays. His chemistry with Ali Fazal’s Guddu, whose journey from a gym enthusiast to a hardened ruler of Mirzapur has been nothing short of riveting, will once again be at the heart of the movie. Meanwhile, Divyenndu’s Munna, with his volatile temperament and memorable one-liners, has been a fan favorite. The character’s return despite his death has already sparked wild theories about what twists the film might bring.
Excel Entertainment, which has been at the forefront of redefining Indian storytelling with projects like Gully Boy and Made in Heaven, is banking on the movie to break new ground in blending cinematic and streaming narratives. With Prime Video’s support, the goal is to deliver a film that not only caters to loyal fans of the series but also attracts new audiences to the Mirzapur universe.
The theatrical release of Mirzapur: The Film in 2026 will likely see fans flocking to cinemas to witness the drama unfold on the big screen, where every bullet fired and every betrayal will hit harder. And once the adrenaline-pumping ride concludes in theatres, audiences worldwide will have the chance to relive the chaos on Prime Video, cementing Mirzapur as a franchise that transcends platforms.
The countdown to 2026 has officially begun, and if the teaser is anything to go by, the upcoming film promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions, power, and mayhem. One thing’s for sure: Mirzapur is ready to raise the stakes and deliver a cinematic experience that will have fans saying, “Ab bhaukaal bhi bada hoga.”
