Divyenndu says Munna is back in Mirzapur: The Movie, and the return comes with the kind of energy the character was built on. He described the comeback as “all guns blazing,” then pushed the point further: “You will see Munna in his all guns blazing avatar, the vintage Munna, unhinged, just going for it.”
The return matters because Munna is one of Divyenndu’s most popular characters, and he said the fans asked for it. He added, “I’m genuinely happy because the fans asked for it, and Munna is coming back! So this one is for the fans.” For viewers who followed Munna in the series, that signals a continuation of the same volatile screen persona rather than a soft reset.
Munna in Mirzapur
Divyenndu said it felt surreal to go back to Munna after so many years, and that uncertainty shaped how he approached the role. He said he wondered whether to treat Munna as a new character or copy his own performance from the series, then tried to give viewers the version of the character where Munna was “absolutely unhinged.”
That is the useful detail here: the performance is not being sold as a generic reprise. It is being framed as a deliberate return to the specific Munna temperament that made the character travel in the first place, which is why the comeback is landing as a story event rather than just a casting note.
OTT in theatres
Divyenndu also said Mirzapur: The Movie is the first time an OTT show will release in theatres. That puts the project in a different lane from a standard follow-up, because the audience is not just getting a character return; it is getting a format shift attached to the same title.
He said he had worked on Peddi before Mirzapur: The Movie, and that Glory did wonderfully well for him. He also said the reaction to Glory was superb and overwhelming, which helps explain why this return is arriving after a stretch of steady work rather than a long break between projects.
After Mirzapur: The Movie
Divyenndu said he wants to take a little time off after Mirzapur: The Movie because he has been working constantly this year and last year. He also said he will start prep for Madgaon Express 2 after the film.
That gives the return a clear working sequence: finish Mirzapur: The Movie, step back briefly, then move into Madgaon Express 2. For fans of Munna and Mirzapur, the main takeaway is simple — the character is coming back with the old volatility intact, and Divyenndu is treating it as a fan-led return rather than a routine sequel beat.
