Actor Shweta Tripathi has teased that ‘Mirzapur: The Film’ will be quite ‘explosive’ with an unfiltered tone that won’t shy away from holding a mirror to society over issues like crime and violence.

The movie, which will be released in 2026, is the cinematic extension of the prime Video’s ‘Mirzapur’ series and will delve more into fan-favourite characters like Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit, and Munna Tripathi, a PTI report from Mumbai stated.

“I think it’s going to be quite explosive. It’s being written right now and we’re slowly finding out what’s happening. But, I think, it is not going to be sanitised. I’m guessing it will be an adult film and I think we should be able to show what’s happening (in society),” Tripathi, who plays Gajgamini Gupta aka Golu in ‘Mirzapur’, told PTI in an interview.

Over the course of three seasons, ‘Mirzapur’ has attained massive fandom as well as praise for showcasing a gritty and violent world where power, crime, and human struggles are depicted with unflinching realism.

The actor said she believes in a kind of storytelling that doesn’t shy away from highlighting societal issues, even if it makes viewers uncomfortable.

“When people close their eyes and become uncomfortable, then they should feel that because every time we turn our heads and not acknowledge that, it doesn’t stop from happening. We have become so desensitised,” she said.

Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment, ‘Mirzapur: The Film’ will bring back Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit and Divyenndu as Munna Tripathi, despite Munna’s death in the second season of the show.

The backbone of any successful show is writing and that holds true for ‘Mirzapur’, said Tripathi, who believes that the series challenges the idea of inherently ‘bad’ people.

‘What I love about the characters is that nobody is born evil. And I’m saying this because I understood this from Munna’s character, not even mine. He wanted his father’s love and validation because he didn’t get that, he took out all his anger and frustration on other people.

“So we enable people, we make them monsters. We push them to a corner that when they retaliate, we say what a bad person he is. But all of us are a part of it,” she said.

She credits the show’s co-writer Puneet Krishna and director Gurmeet Singh for crafting relatable characters in the show.

Tripathi currently stars in the Netflix series ‘Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein’, which recently returned with its second season.
