Ali Fazal is one of the few Indian actors who manages his career in India, along with appearing in several international projects. Most known for playing Guddu Pandit in the show Mirzapur, while also appearing in films like Death on the Nile and Kandahar, Ali recently expressed his excitement about the upcoming film based on the Amazon Prime Video series. The film was announced in 2024, after the release of the show’s third season. Ali also shared an update about the show, and suggested that it might wrap up after the fourth season.
In a chat with Hindi Rush, Ali said that he is “very excited” about the Mirzapur film. He said, “We are all very excited and the original cast is coming back for it and just last week, I heard the script. It’s very nice. It’s going to be a big surprise for everyone.” Ali shared that this will not be a case of a show turning into a film, but something unique. “Peaky Blinders has done the same format. They are making a film out of that.”
Ali stayed mum about the final cast of the film and said that the makers will soon make an announcement about the same. For the series, which released its third season in 2024, the upcoming season might be the last one as Ali shared, “That (the new season) is still being written because… I don’t know… It will probably be the last season.”
In the same chat, Ali was asked to comment about the violence, nudity and obscene language in OTT shows and the actor said that there was a time when shows had excessive amount of crass language and sexual references, but as time has passed, things have started to calm down. “When it was new, people were just abusing in all the OTT shows. All the OTT shows were just about crass language and sex, it was heightened, I think. It just felt like people were venting but slowly, everything has been normalised,” he said and added, “If you are on OTT or elsewhere, the responsibility is on you. Responsible viewing, responsible making, however you define that.”
Mirzapur, the film, is likely to release in 2026 but it is yet to be known if characters who have died on the show will come back for the film. Apart from Ali, Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Divyenndu, Rasika Dugal have been a part of the series.
