The first teaser of the Mirzapur prequel has left fans nostalgic, with many missing Vikrant Massey's Bablu Pandit. The film, set for a theatrical release on September 4, is a prequel to the Amazon Prime Video web series and sees the return of Divyenndu's Munna and Bablu Pandit, now played by Jitendra Kumar.
While many praised the glimpse and expressed excitement about seeing the Mirzapur universe on the big screen, several fans said they missed Vikrant Massey's Bablu Pandit. Others wondered how the film would secure a censor certificate, given that the web series was known for its graphic violence, gore and intimate scenes.
The teaser highlights that the film will tell an origin story set in 2018, before and alongside the events of season one. It also shows how Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) is worried that his son Munna is not the ideal heir to his throne. Meanwhile, the Pandit brothers - Ali Fazal and Jitendra - are on their own path to dismantle the empire of Munna and set themselves up as the kings of Mirzapur.
