The eagerly anticipated trailer for the third season of the hit streaming series ‘Mirzapur’ was unveiled yesterday, set against the luxurious backdrop of a five-star property in Mumbai’s Bandra area.

This latest trailer teases an escalation in the show’s signature blend of violence, power struggles and intense drama.

Set in the fictional town of Mirzapur in the Purvanchal region, the new season continues the tumultuous battle for dominance. Ali Fazal’s character, Guddu, is seen dramatically demolishing a statue of Pankaj Tripathi’s character, Kaleen Bhaiyya, symbolizing a seismic power shift. Guddu’s bold proclamation, “Kaleen Bhaiyya gone, Guddu Pandit on,” sets the stage for a fierce and bloody struggle for control, IANS reported.

The trailer hints at a season filled with innovative and gruesome methods of murder, as various contenders vie for the coveted throne of Mirzapur. The complex web of deceit, politics, and violence promises to captivate fans, much like the previous seasons.

Returning cast members include Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Vijay Varma, Isha Talwar, Anjum Sharma, Priyanshu Painyuli, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chadha, Meghna Malik and Manu Rishi Chadha, each bringing depth and intensity to their roles.

Gurmmeet Singh, the series’ director, and executive producer, remarked, “The first two seasons of ‘Mirzapur’ were game changers for the crime thriller genre in India’s streaming landscape. With ‘Mirzapur 3’, we aim to build on this momentum, exploring new dimensions of each character’s life and introducing fresh plot twists. The stakes are higher, the narrative canvas is larger, and after a hiatus of three and a half years, we, like our viewers, are eagerly awaiting the global premiere.”

Produced by Excel Media & Entertainment, with direction by Singh and Anand Iyer, ‘Mirzapur 3’ is poised to premiere on Prime Video on July 5, promising an epic showdown for the control of Mirzapur.
