Highlights
The recent teaser of Prime Video has got Mirzapur lovers buzzing with the potential of Munna Bhaiya back in the picture by Divyendu Sharma in Season 3 bonus episode. One of the main characters Munna had not featured in the third season of the series which began airing on July 5. The teaser has created much anticipation especially among fans who are keen to know how the storyline would progress if this particular character returned.
The speculation began when, on Wednesday, the Prime Video handle posted a picture of Munna Bhaiya along with a folder symbol that read ‘bonus episode’. The actor, who plays Guddu Pandit in the series, had left fans guessing in a video he shot where he asked the audience to wait for the bonus episode which he said is going to be mind-blowing. Even his comments about a ‘stud type guy’ too cool to stay dead only added to the speculation of Munna’s return.
Viewers have been looking forward to the show on social networking platforms and many of them are waiting to see how the return of Munna Bhaiya can change the things in the show. Since the character has been an important part of the earlier seasons, his return could bring some more twists and turns and conflicts in the already violent show of Mirzapur.
A Look At The History Of Mirzapur
Developed by Karan Anshuman, Mirzapur originally aired in 2018 and enjoys significant popularity now, being based on crime, power, and revenge in the eponymous city of Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. The main focus of the show is Kaleen Bhaiya, portrayed by Pankaj Tripathi, a cruel gangster, who dominates the town’s black market for weapons. But there is a problem, Guddu and Bablu Pandit are two brothers who are forced into the life of crime after a series of brutal incidents.
The storyline of the show was raw and real and coupled with the actors who acted in the show, the show was a favorite among the audience. In the years that have followed Mirzapur has gained quite a following and with each season people wait for the next one. Season 3 which was co-directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer picked up the story with 10 more episodes and while most fans enjoyed the show, there was a feeling of ‘missing Munna Bhaiya’.
What The Possibilities Of The Bonus Episode Are For The Future?
It is for this reason that if Munna Bhaiya is to make a return in the bonus episode then there are more directions that the story could take. His personality was involved in the show’s main struggles and the battle for power within the two seasons, and his return might change the course of the series greatly. The original showrunners of Mirzapur are known for playing the viewers on a number of times and this potential comeback could be one of the most exciting twists till date.
The first season offered a very unexpected plot progression, and the characters were quite multi-layered, so the return of Munna Bhaiya to the show could bring a new interesting twist to the show’s already rather tense setting. People are wondering whether his return would be in a flashback or if it is just a dream sequence or if the man is back for good. In any case, the entry of Munna Bhaiya will bring change, and the change is likely to bring new equations, new defections, and new power shifts.
As fans eagerly await the release of the bonus episode, one thing is clear: The show is still able to hold our attention with its twists and turns and with characters that are easily memorable. Whether Munna Bhaiya comes or not, the expectation of this turn has also guaranteed that the series is the focus of discussion in the Indian web series market.
