'Mirzapur 2' release date finally announced

Looks like Guddu is back for vengeance sooner than expected!

The wait is over! The makers of the highly-anticipated web show, Mirzapur, have finally announced the release date of the second season of the show. 

On Monday, Amazon Prime India shared a video in which the release date of Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi show was announced. Mirzapur season 2 will hit the screens on October 23, 2020. 

A minute-long video, Fazal's character, Guddu, can be heard saying, "There are two types of people in the world - alive or dead. Then there are the third type - wounded. They took everything from me but left me alive. A mistake."

 

Last month, the cast of Mirzapur 2 was spotted at a dubbing studio. The web series was scheduled to begin streaming earlier this year, however, it got pushed due to the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown, according to the Indian Express. 

Now, with so many expectations from the show, leading actor Ali Fazal feels there is pressure on the team to deliver again. In an earlier statement, he shared, “We were always the underdogs and there was always immense love from the audience. But now the show is considerably delayed because of the circumstances posed by the pandemic. Through the lockdown, fans have been after us. We can feel the eyes on us, and I hope the audience is a little generous. Such great content has come out in the last year that I will be very proud of being part of Amazon’s legacy.”

Last year actor Pankaj Tripathi made his Instagram debut with a short teaser of Mirzapur 2. In the video, the actor could be heard saying, “whosoever has come on the earth, will leave too, but everything will happen in accordance with his wish.”

Mirzapur is a crime thriller web series that revolves around drugs, guns, and lawlessness. It depicts the governance and rule of mafia dons and the rivalry and crime prevailing in the Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh. The first season of the web series featured Ali Fazal, Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur, Divyendu Sharma and Kulbhushan Kharbanda.
