Exclusive! Mirzapur: The Film star Divyenndu calls the script bohot zyada mazedaar; says, ‘They will kill me if…’

If there is one show that has managed to keep the frenzy going for almost five long years, three seasons, and many episodes, it has to be Mirzapur. The show backed by Excel Entertainment with Amazon Prime Video, the show created by Puneet Mishra is one of the top most successful shows in the Indian streaming space. However, it was recently when we were given the biggest surprise by the makers when they confirmed that Mirzapur will now branch out into the theatres too and will transcend into Mirzapur: The Film. Which means it is not limited to the streaming world and will now flourish on the big screen. There has been curiosity to know what the approach is for the film and how do the makers plan to continue.

Divyenndu On Mirzapur: The Film

Luckily, Divyenndu, who plays Munna Bhaiya on the cult show franchise, makes his return to Mirzapur: The Film. This hints at the movie being kind of a prequel because the character is dead in the present day. The actor recently joined OTTplay ahead of the release of his Amazon Prime Video original film Agni, directed by Rahul Dholakia. When we quizzed him about Mirzapur: The Film he confessed how he cannot talk much about it now but it is a very good script and is made specially for the audience. 

In the exclusive conversation, we asked Divyenndu what exactly can he tell us about Mirzapur: The Film and where does it fit in terms of the timeline. Reacting to the question, Divyenndu said, “The makers will kill me if I reveal it.” Sayami Kher added, “There won’t be any Divyenndu then.”

Divyenndu continued, “What I can tell you is, everyone knows Mirzapur: The Film is in the making. Whatever I have heard so far is fun to the next level (Bohot zyada mazedaar). I cannot reveal anything more than that. I can save myself by saying this. It is just that we are trying to make the best entertaining film possible. Exactly what the audience and fans want. There are some projects that are made according to the fans, Mirzapur: The Film is like that. Let’s serve the people what they want.” To which Pratik Gandhi added, “So for this answer, Munna Bhaiya hasn’t thought anything immediately, he will think and let you know.”
