Mirzapur Movie Release Date Announced: Kaleen Bhaiya and Munna Set for Big-Screen Return
The makers of this celebrated crime show have finally revealed the poster for the cinematic version. Mirzapur, The Movie, will be released in theaters worldwide on September 4, 2026. This marks a historical moment for one of India’s most popular OTT series.
Today’s announcement promised audiences an immersive cinematic experience rooted in a gritty, intense world they had come to love over several seasons of streaming. The film, a production of Excel Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios, aims to push the limits of the original show. Director Gurmmeet Sing and writer Puneet Kshna are behind the project. They were responsible for the massive fan base of the original series.
Fans of Mirzapur have been anticipating the return of these heavyweights. This film features the return of iconic Purvanchal power players, such as Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) and Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal). The return of Munna Bhaiya (Divyenndu) is perhaps the biggest surprise for fans. His return as one of the franchise’s most beloved characters is sure to draw significant attention from audiences.
The production team said that the move from streaming to cinema was a first. “Mirzapur, the beloved cult series, is now available in cinemas for the very first time, and transforms its world into a big-screen epic experience.” The move is part of a trend in which successful digital IPs are expanding into theatrical formats to reach a wider audience.
