The famous battle for the throne of Mirzapur is moving from phone screens to the cinema. Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment have confirmed that Mirzapur: The Film will release in theaters worldwide on 4 September 2026, a major step for one of India’s most popular shows.

The movie aims to turn the small-town power struggle into a massive theatrical event. It brings back the iconic trio of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit, and Munna Bhaiya for a grand experience.

Bhaukaal on the Big Screen: The Core Facts

Gurmmeet Singh is the director, and Puneet Krishna is the writer for this movie, who also worked on the original show. Producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar want this to be a ‘cinematic event.’ They plan to increase the action and drama that made the series famous. The makers have also released a teaser poster showing a line of SUVs driving through a desert with the wooden throne. The caption, "Ab dekhiye bhaukaal bade parde par," promises fans complete entertainment.

The third season ended in 2024 with Kaleen Bhaiya taking back control. However, this film will explore an ‘untold chapter’ of the story. Filming finished on 1 February 2026. The team is now working on post-production. They want to make sure the energy of the show looks great on a large theater screen.

How Will Munna Bhaiya Return in Mirzapur: The Movie?

Fans really want to know how Munna Bhaiya will return, as Divyenndu plays this character. He was killed at the end of Season 2; however, his name is on the official cast list for the movie. This has caused a lot of excitement and questions. As The Indian Express noted, "While Divyenndu's character gets shot in the season 2 finale, the events of Mirzapur: The Movie are set before the end of the first season."

This plan lets the creators bring back favorite characters like Sweety Gupta, and it also introduces Jitendra Kumar in a very important role. This helps fill the gap left by Bablu Pandit. This strategy uses the fans' love for the original cast. It also keeps people excited for Season 4, which is still being planned.

By putting Mirzapur in theaters, Amazon is trying a new business model, which is common in Hollywood with brands like Marvel. If this works, more Indian shows might release special movie chapters in theaters.
