Two years after the third season wrapped up, Mirzapur is finally getting its big-screen moment. Mirzapur: The Movie is locked in for a theatrical release on September 4, 2026, and Excel Entertainment has quietly assembled almost the entire original cast to pull it off. The teaser dropped on June 25 and it’s already crossed 36 million views. Here’s everything that’s actually been confirmed.
Mirzapur the Movie Release Date
Mirzapur: The Movie releases in cinemas on September 4, 2026. The date was officially locked in back in February, according to The Indian Express, after months of filming across three states.
Cast: who’s actually in Mirzapur the Movie
The good news for fans is that this isn’t a reboot with a new cast pretending to be the Tripathis. Most of the original lineup is back:
Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Ravi Kishan, Abhishek Banerjee, Rasika Dugal, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Harshita Gaur, Sushant Singh, Sheeba Chaddha, Rajesh Tailang, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Anjum Sharma, and Anangsha Biswas all return. Mohit Malik, Sonal Chauhan and Zaved Khan join as new additions to the cast.
One change worth flagging: Vikrant Massey, who played Bablu Pandit across all three seasons, isn’t part of the film. Jitendra Kumar has stepped into that role instead, after Massey exited the project in September 2025. That’s the kind of recast that usually gets messy online, so don’t be surprised if it becomes a talking point once the marketing kicks in.
Anjum Sharma is confirmed to be reprising his role as Sharad Shukla. He described it to Bollywood Hungama as “stepping back into Sharad Shukla’s shoes,” for whatever that’s worth to fans trying to guess where the story picks up. Ravi Kishan joins the franchise fresh, playing a gangster, and already gets two scenes in the teaser, including one where he asks for namak to pour on a rival’s wounds. Character details for the other new cast members haven’t been officially revealed yet.
Director and crew of Mirzapur the Movie
Gurmeet Singh, who directed episodes across the original series, is in the chair for the film as well, so tonally this should feel like a continuation rather than a departure. Puneet Krishna wrote the script. Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar are producing under Excel Entertainment, with Amazon MGM Studios attached as well.
Filming wasn’t a quick shoot. It started in Mumbai in September 2025, moved to Varanasi in October, then went to Jaisalmer and Jodhpur, before a final schedule in Rajasthan in December. The whole thing wrapped in January 2026, so the cast has had a solid eight months for post-production before the release date.
Is it a prequel to Mirzapur Season or a straight continuation?
Confirmed now: it’s a prequel. Ali Fazal told Screen the film is set before the show, which is exactly why actors like Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chaddha and Divyenndu are back despite their characters’ arcs having ended in the series. Divyenndu’s Munna, a fan favorite who died in the show, returns very much alive here to cause chaos and drop a few whistle-worthy lines along the way.
Rather than picking up where season 3 left off, the film digs into the rivalry between Guddu Pandit and Munna, and the complicated father-son tension running through both families: Kaleen Bhaiya’s disappointment in his son Munna, and Guddu’s father refusing to accept the life of crime his son is chasing. It also marks the comeback of Sharad Shukla, with Anjum Sharma reprising the role.
Mirzapur the Movie Trailer
The official teaser dropped on June 25 and it’s already sitting at over 36 million views. It doesn’t give away the plot, but it doesn’t need to, two minutes and twenty-three seconds of Kaleen Bhaiya ruling over Mirzapur, bullets flying, and Munna back to remind everyone why he was the best part of the show. Here’s the embed:
A full trailer hasn’t landed yet, so expect that closer to the release date.
Where is Mirzapur the Movie releasing
Mirzapur: The Movie is releasing in cinemas across India in both Hindi and Telugu on September 4. No confirmation yet on international screens, but given how the TV show performed with the diaspora audience, expect a rollout in the UAE, US and UK too once distributors lock in dates closer to release.
