New Delhi: Fans of the crime drama series Mirzapur on Amazon Prime Video have been eagerly anticipating the third season since its recent announcement.

In a recent interview, the actor stated, "On Humans of Bombay, I shall declare, I am not a part of Mirzapur Season 3." Divyenndu, who portrayed Munna Tripathi, explained, "When I was in character, it was affecting my personality a lot. We shouldn’t over-romanticise going too deep into a character, because it is not easy. At times, it used to get really dark for me. I felt suffocated. It’s so tricky that you don’t even realise that you are in that zone. It’s only when you come out of it do you realise how dark it was."

According to the makers, in the upcoming season, "Guddu (Ali) and Golu (Shweta) are pitted against a new contender as they stake their claim to the throne. Will they pass the baptism of fire or will external forces seek to destroy the seat of power forever?"

 

About Mirzapur

The series revolves around the formidable Akhandanand Tripathi – a wealthy carpet exporter and the mafia don of Mirzapur – and his son Munna, an ambitious heir who will stop at nothing to inherit his father’s legacy. Chaos ensues when their paths intersect with Ramakant Pandit, a principled lawyer, and his sons, Guddu and Bablu. Like its predecessors, the third season of Mirzapur was shot across Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow and Jaunpur.
