Munna Bhaiyya, who met a grisly end at the hands of Guddu Pandit (played by Ali Fazal) in the second season, has remained one of the most memorable characters of the series.

Known for his volatile nature and explosive dialogue, Munna is the son of Akhandanand Tripathi, also known as Kaleen Bhaiyya, the ruthless crime lord of Mirzapur.

Despite his death, Munna’s character left a lasting impact, and his return has been one of the most anticipated events for the show’s fans.

Amazon Prime Video hinted at this surprise return earlier this month with a social media post featuring a photo of Munna Bhaiyya alongside a folder icon labeled "bonus episode."

Ali Fazal further fueled speculation by revealing in a teaser video that the bonus episode was in the works. In the clip, he urged fans to stay tuned, promising that Munna Bhaiyya’s return would be worth the wait.

Divyendu Sharma, in a promotional video released by the makers, addressed the fans directly, “Hum kya gaye, pura bawaal mach gaya. Suna hai humare loyal fans bohut miss kiye humko. Season 3 me kuch cheezein miss kiye aap. Wo hum khoj ke le aaye hain, just for you.” This has only heightened anticipation for the episode, which promises to explore aspects of the story that were left out in Season 3.

‘Mirzapur,’ an action-packed crime series produced by Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment, is set in the heart of Uttar Pradesh and follows the power struggles within the criminal underworld.

The series has garnered a massive following since its debut, with Divyendu Sharma’s portrayal of Munna Bhaiyya being a significant factor in its popularity.

Season 3 of ‘Mirzapur’ premiered in July, and the series has already been renewed for a fourth season, which is expected to delve even deeper into the power dynamics and conflicts that have defined the show.

While a specific release date for Season 4 has not been announced, it is rumored to premiere in 2025 or 2026.

In an earlier interview, Divyendu Sharma shared a memorable fan encounter from the show’s international success. While shooting in Scotland, he was recognised by fans, including a group of Brazilian girls who excitedly pointed him out during a video call.

This incident underscored the global reach and appeal of ‘Mirzapur,’ breaking barriers across age, country, and culture.
