**Mumbai, India:** Fans of the hit Amazon Prime Video series “Mirzapur” are in for a treat, as the show is officially making its way to the big screen. Producer Farhan Akhtar confirmed the long-awaited transition with the announcement of “Mirzapur: The Film”.

A teaser video, released on Instagram, featured series stalwarts Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu, hinting at the high-stakes drama that will soon unfold in theatres. The video suggests that Divyenndu will reprise his role, alongside Abhishek Banerjee, though the full cast remains a closely guarded secret.
