Actress Sonal Chauhan has officially joined the cast of the much-awaited ‘Mirzapur: The Film’, the cinematic adaptation of the Prime Video popular crime thriller series that has become a cultural phenomenon among audiences.

The film, created by Puneet Krishna and directed by Gurmmeet Singh, is set to bring back fan-favourite characters, including Pankaj Tripathi as the formidable Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as the ambitious Guddu Pandit, and Divyenndu as the audacious Munna Tripathi.

According to an ANI report, Chauhan took to Instagram to share her excitement, posting a heartfelt handwritten note from the makers of ‘Mirzapur’ welcoming her aboard.
