‘Mirzapur 3’: Jitendra Kumar to make a cameo in the show? Here’s what Ali Fazal said

‘Mirzapur 3’: Jitendra Kumar to make a cameo in the show? Here’s what Ali Fazal said

The third season of the much-talked-about series ‘Mirzapur’ is set to premiere on July 5. In an added twist, Ali Fazal disclosed that Jitendra Kumar from the acclaimed series ‘Panchayat’ would be making a cameo in the upcoming thriller.

Ali Fazal confirmed Jitendra Kumar’s special appearance in the series in an interview with ANI. ‘That's cross-promotion. We have done that,’ he said. However, other cast members expressed surprise as they intended it to be kept under wraps.

Jitendra Kumar will portray Sachiv Ji, appearing in Mirzapur for paperwork related to the death of Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi), spanning two episodes.

Spilling beans on the upcoming season, Ali Fazal said that it has taken a different route with more grip on drama.

‘Interestingly, we have introduced hand combat. We lose some important characters, but we gain some new ones. I underwent a different kind of preparation, which was fun,’ he added.

Ali also recognized that his role in the Mirzapur franchise proved to be pivotal for his career, marking a significant milestone in the industry. He acknowledged that the show opened up new opportunities and broadened his horizons, emphasizing its unique impact compared to conventional series, which also influenced his journey in Hollywood.

More about the show

Directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer, the series promises to continue its gripping gangster narrative. The ensemble cast includes Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Rasika Duggal, Shweta Tripathi, Vijay Varma, among others.

The recently released trailer of the show teases heightened drama, intense power struggles, and a significant shift in alliances. Guddu Bhaiya is seen striving to consolidate his influence in Purvanchal, with Rasika Duggal's character making a surprising switch to join his side.

However, fans of Mirzapur will be disappointed this time as the beloved character Munna Bhaiya, portrayed by Divyenndu, will be absent. Despite Munna Bhaiya's demise at the end of ‘Mirzapur 2’, fans had hoped for a possible return, given the strong connection they felt with his character.
