Director and executive producer Gurmmeet Singh teased what fans can expect from the new season. “The first two seasons redefined the crime thriller genre in India’s streaming space. With Season 3, we aim to elevate the narrative, exploring new dimensions and character arcs. The stakes are higher, and the canvas is bigger. After a three-and-a-half-year break, we’re just as excited as the fans for the global premiere on Prime Video,” Singh said.

Reflecting on the journey, actor Ali Fazal, who plays Guddu Pandit, reminisced about the challenges of reprising his role. “I’ve worked hard to capture the essence of Guddu, a young boy shaped by his corrupt surroundings. Despite the chaos, he retains his innocence. This role has taken a lot out of me, and I cherish every moment of it,” he shared. Fazal emphasized the complexity of his character, molded by societal circumstances into a figure of strength and madness.

Preparing for Guddu’s role involved deep empathy and understanding. “To portray Guddu, I had to see the world from his perspective without judgment. This was my biggest challenge, to observe and portray his experiences authentically,” he explained.

“Mirzapur” Season 1 premiered in 2018, followed by Season 2 in 2020. The eagerly awaited third season is ready to premiere on Prime Video on July 5. Fans are eagerly counting down the days to dive back into the gritty world of “Mirzapur.”
