Fans of the popular crime drama Mirzapur will soon get to experience the world of Purvanchal on the big screen, with Mirzapur: The Film officially scheduled for a theatrical release on September 4, 2026.
The film marks the franchise’s transition from digital streaming to cinemas, promising a larger cinematic experience for its audience.
Principal photography for the project was completed in February 2026, a development confirmed by lead actors Shweta Tripathi and Ali Fazal. The film is expected to continue the gritty narrative that made the series one of the most watched Indian web shows.
One of the major highlights of the film is the return of Divyenndu as Munna Bhaiya, despite the character’s apparent death in the second season of the series. His comeback has emerged as one of the most talked-about aspects of the upcoming release.
The core cast from the original series remains intact. Pankaj Tripathi will reprise his role as Akhandanand “Kaleen” Tripathi, alongside Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit, Shweta Tripathi as Golu Gupta, and Abhishek Banerjee as Subodh, popularly known as Compounder.
Mirzapur: The Film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh, who had previously helmed several key episodes of the web series. The project is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under their banner, Excel Entertainment.
The producers have described the film as an opportunity to expand the scale and reach of the franchise.
“It is a landmark milestone for us to bring the quintessential ‘Mirzapur’ experience to our audiences, yet again, but this time on the big screen. Over the course of three successful seasons, this acclaimed franchise has struck all the right chords with fans through its powerful storytelling and memorable characters - from the likes of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Bhaiya, and Munna Bhaiya, to name a few. We believe that adapting such a treasured series into a film will undoubtedly make for an even more engrossing watch, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the world of ‘Mirzapur’ like never before. We are stoked to collaborate with Prime Video, once again, and look forward to delivering a grand cinematic experience, which will truly live up to the expectations of our dedicated fanbase,” the producers said in a joint statement.
In addition to the returning cast, the film will also feature new faces, with Jitendra Kumar and Sonal Chauhan joining the franchise.
With a strong ensemble, a familiar creative team, and a loyal fan following, Mirzapur: The Film is expected to be one of the major theatrical releases of 2026.
