Divyendu confirmed that he will not return to Mirzapur season 3.

Fans of Amazon Prime Video’s crime drama Mirzapur have desperately been waiting for the third season of the successful show after it was announced recently. While cast members like Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Rasika Dugal and Shweta Tripathi will be returning for the third season, Divyendu has confirmed that he will not be a part of the show anymore.

In a recent interview, the actor said, “On Humans of Bombay, I shall declare, I am not a part of Mirzapur Season 3.” Divyenndu played Munna Tripathi in the series. He added, “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.”

As per the makers, in season 3, “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?”

The plot of the show revolves around the iron-fisted Akhandanand Tripathi – a millionaire carpet exporter and the mafia don of Mirzapur – and his son Munna, an unworthy, power-hungry heir who will stop at nothing to inherit his father’s legacy. All hell breaks loose when a wedding procession forces him to cross paths with Ramakant Pandit, an upstanding lawyer, and his sons, Guddu and Bablu. Much like its predecessors, the third season of Mirzapur was also shot across Uttar Pradesh including Lucknow and Jaunpur.

After the massive success of the first two seasons of the show, fans are now eagerly awaiting for the makers to reveal the release date of the third season.
