Mirzapur fans were in for a treat as Amazon Prime Video released a tantalising teaser video featuring Ali Fazal, who plays the iconic Guddu Pandit. This latest reveal has stirred excitement among the show’s ardent followers, hinting at a special bonus episode expected to drop this August.
The video, which appeared nearly a month after the July release of Mirzapur Season 3, showcased Fazal humorously reflecting on the effort it took to retrieve some deleted scenes. “I had to beat up a few people to get my hands on these,” Fazal quipped. He went on to describe a “stud-type guy” his character had killed, playfully suggesting that this character is “too cool to stay deleted” and hinting at their potential return.
Fans were quick to speculate that this mystery character might be none other than Divyenndu’s Munna Bhaiya, a fan favorite whose potential comeback has been the subject of much speculation. The teaser concluded with Fazal promising an exciting watch: “It’s gonna be fun,” he said, before urging fans to “keep an eye out” for the upcoming episode.
The teaser, captioned “y’all are not ready for this. Bonus episode aane wala hai, gaddi ki peti baandh lijiye,” quickly sparked fan frenzy on social media. Comments flooded in, with one fan declaring, “Munna bhaiya ka comeback hone wala hai doston,” and another exclaiming, “Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh I’m shouting as hellll Munnna bhaiyaaaa.” The anticipation was palpable as fans eagerly awaited confirmation of Munna Bhaiya’s return.
Mirzapur Season 3, which premiered on July 5, features an ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Vijay Varma, and Isha Talwar, among others. The season, produced by Excel Entertainment and co-directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer, marked a highly-anticipated return after a four-year hiatus.
Mirzapur, which debuted in 2018, has firmly established itself as a beloved series on the streaming platform. With the promise of a fourth season already confirmed, the show continues to capture the imagination of its global fanbase, ensuring its place as a staple in the world of web series.
