Divyenndu to reprise Munna Tripathi’s role in Mirzapur 3

Ritesh Sidhwani was questioned about the likelihood of seeing Divyenndu's character Munna Tripathi in Mirzapur Season 3 at the Film Companion Front Row. It looked like a faraway fantasy at first after the character's death in the previous season but Sidhwani's response excited fans.

The producer said, “Unfortunately, Munna Tripathi can't come back into the series the way it is. But maybe something is interesting for which you will have to wait, but there is something where Munna will enter back into audiences' lives.”
