This announcement has generated significant excitement among fans who have been eagerly anticipating the return of the iconic character.
Munna Bhaiyya, who met a brutal fate at the hands of Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal) in the second season, remains one of the most unforgettable characters in the series.
Renowned for his volatile demeanor and memorable dialogue, Munna is the son of Akhandanand Tripathi, or Kaleen Bhaiyya, the fearsome crime lord of Mirzapur.
Although Munna’s character was killed off, his impact has been enduring, and his return has been highly anticipated by fans. Amazon Prime Video teased this surprise comeback earlier this month with a social media post featuring Munna Bhaiyya and a folder icon labeled “bonus episode.”
Ali Fazal fueled speculation by hinting in a teaser video that the bonus episode was in development. He encouraged fans to stay tuned, assuring them that Munna Bhaiyya’s return would be worth the wait.
In a promotional video, Divyendu Sharma addressed fans directly, saying, “Hum kya gaye, pura bawaal mach gaya. Suna hai humare loyal fans bohot miss kiye humko. Season 3 me kuch cheezein miss kiye aap. Wo hum khoj ke le aaye hain, just for you.” This has heightened excitement for the episode, which is expected to cover elements of the story that were missed in Season 3.
‘Mirzapur,’ an action-packed crime series produced by Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment, is set in Uttar Pradesh and explores the power struggles within the criminal underworld. The series has gained a huge following since its debut, with Divyendu Sharma’s portrayal of Munna Bhaiyya playing a key role in its success.
Season 3 of ‘Mirzapur’ debuted in July, and the series has already been renewed for a fourth season, which is expected to explore the power dynamics and conflicts further.
Although a specific release date for Season 4 has not been announced, it is rumored to debut in 2025 or 2026.
In a previous interview, Divyendu Sharma recounted a memorable fan encounter during the show’s international success. While filming in Scotland, he was recognized by fans, including a group of Brazilian girls who excitedly pointed him out during a video call.
This moment highlighted the global reach and appeal of ‘Mirzapur,’ transcending age, country, and culture.
