The much-awaited crime action drama ‘Mirzapur The Movie’, featuring Bollywood stars Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu Sharma, and Ali Fazal in key roles, is set to arrive in theatres with massive expectations. Directed by Gurmeet Singh and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, the film brings the much-loved world of the hit web series ‘Mirzapur’ to the big screen.
While the film retains the essence of the popular characters from the series, it presents a fresh storyline with new situations, sequences, and unexpected twists. ‘Mirzapur The Movie’ is scheduled for a grand worldwide theatrical release in Hindi and Telugu on September 4.
Ahead of the release, the team interacted with the media in Hyderabad and spoke about the film, their characters, and the special connection the ‘Mirzapur’ franchise shares with Telugu audiences.
Pankaj Tripathi
Pankaj Tripathi said, “Greetings to everyone. The ‘Mirzapur’ web series received an incredible response from audiences across the world. We have now brought that world to the big screen with the movie, and it is a great feeling to be here and watch the Telugu trailer along with all of you.
The character of Kaleen Bhaiya received immense love from audiences. Telugu audiences especially showed tremendous affection and even addressed me as Kaleen Bhaiya. I am extremely grateful for all the love you have given me. I am confident that this film will entertain all of you as well.”
Divyenndu Sharma
Divyenndu Sharma said, “The ‘Mirzapur’ series became a huge success and has a massive fan following across the world. Telugu audiences have also embraced the series with tremendous love.
The story has a very realistic quality, and that realism continues in the movie as well. Audiences today are very mature and have a clear understanding of the kind of film they are coming to watch.
‘Mirzapur The Movie’ is a standalone film. Even if someone has not watched a single episode of the series, they can still enjoy the movie in theatres. The characters remain the same, but the situations are completely new. There are fresh scenes and interesting twists in the film.
During the making of the movie, we realised just how deeply audiences had connected with the ‘Mirzapur’ world. That is one of the reasons we decided to dub the film in Telugu. I am confident that Telugu audiences will definitely enjoy it.
Just as they celebrated the ‘Mirzapur’ series, I believe they will celebrate the movie on the big screen as well.”
Ali Fazal
Ali Fazal said, “‘Mirzapur The Movie’ is a completely fresh film. While the essence of the characters remains the same, the situations and sequences are new. There are several interesting turns and surprises in the story.
The characters of Guddu, Beena, Bablu and others are already very familiar to audiences. Telugu viewers have showered immense love on these characters and the series. I am confident that they will extend the same love to the movie. I believe ‘Mirzapur The Movie’ will definitely appeal to Telugu audiences.”

Ravi Kishan said, “Greetings to all the Telugu audiences. You have shown tremendous love for the character of Maddali Siva Reddy. All the Telugu films I have worked on have given me wonderful experiences and success.
In ‘Mirzapur The Movie’, I play a character named Babban Yadav. This is a new character that was not part of the series. As you know, this is a very powerful gang and a crazy family. Being part of this world and getting the opportunity to play a new character has been a wonderful experience.
The advance bookings have been excellent. Bringing a popular OTT series to the big screen on such a scale is a special experience. I am confident that audiences will thoroughly enjoy the film in theatres.”
Jitendra Kumar
