Munna bhaiya, Bablu return: How Mirzapur The Movie is bringing back the dead, reveals Puneet Krishna | Bollywood News

Before it was a streaming franchise with three seasons, a record-breaking viewership run and a dedicated audience in over 180 countries, Mirzapur was a folder on Puneet Krishna’s laptop. The file was called “Guddu Aur Bablu Ki Story.” He kept it that way for years, even as the show was running. It was only when the film was finally greenlit and he sat down to write it that he created a new folder and for the first time, named it “Mirzapur: The Film.” In a conversation with Variety India, he said, “Mirzapur was always a film for me. I kept it like that for nostalgic reasons.” The confession reframes the entire trajectory of one of India’s most successful streaming properties. What audiences came to know as a nine-episode first season, followed by two more seasons and 29 total episodes on Amazon Prime Video, was, at its origin, a story that Puneet Krishna imagined on a cinema screen. The reason it ended up as a series was partly circumstantial and partly the result of watching someone …

Divyenndu on massive gamble of Mirzapur The Film, his ‘daddy issues’ typecasting: ‘Still hungry’ | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

Nearly two decades into the film industry, Divyendu has built one of the more unconventional trajectories in mainstream Hindi cinema. From a brief, blink-and-miss appearance in Aaja Nachle, backed by Yash Raj Films, to becoming a recognisable face with Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and eventually breaking the mould with Prime Video’s blockbuster Mirzapur, he has come a long way. But the larger question remains: has he really come a long way? Has the industry fully tapped into his potential? Divyendu himself appears to think otherwise. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, he says: “I still have a lot to give, definitely. I understand it’s a commercial industry and there are a lot of things at play. But very honestly, I just want the whole system of our film industry to work more on merit. If only the system can work on merit, we can have people who can give some more and take the industry forward. And I would like to believe that I could be one of those people who can contribute towards …

Report: Ali Fazal Gearing Up for a Big-ticket Action Project Post Mirzapur The Film

Report: Ali Fazal Gearing Up for a Big-ticket Action Project Post Mirzapur The Film

Published by Parlour News

A source close to the development shared, “Ali has always had the physicality and intensity required for action. With Mirzapur already establishing him as a powerful action presence, the industry is looking at him very seriously for bigger action-led films. There is work happening towards a massive project with a major action star, and this could be one of the most exciting collaborations for Ali”. Ali’s journey into action is not entirely new. His intense portrayal of Guddu Pandit made him synonymous with raw, gritty action on the Indian OTT landscape. Beyond that, his Hollywood outing in Kandahar alongside Gerard Butler showcased his ability to hold his own in high-octane international action cinema. The actor’s physicality, screen presence, and emotional intensity have often made audiences connect deeply with his performances. The project could mark a significant turning point, positioning Ali among the next generation of Bollywood actors taking on large-scale action spectacles. Meanwhile, besides Mirzapur: The Film, Ali will be seen embracing a lover boy avatar in the much-awaited Lust Stories 3, marking a return …

Exclusive: “Dev Is an Active Volcano…” – Divyenndu on His Characters in Mirzapur and Glory

Published by Parlour News

When asked about his new character and whether it has similarities with Munna, Divyenndu shares, “They are completely different. The basic space where they come from is different. Dev does not want to be in this world. He hates and detests this world completely. He doesn’t romanticise it There is no privilege here because his father is a boxing coach. He does not even like his father.” He added, “He has a lot of personal and emotional baggage. Dev is like an active volcano. He can go off anytime. Dev is not a guy who understands himself. He doesn’t want to. His past has been so dramatic and disturbing that there are few things in his life he doesn’t want to face. And that’s why he lives in a limbo. He just exists. There’s no meaning to his existence. In the story, he also finds motivation in his life. But the motivation is very negative and comes from a dark space.” What is Divyenndu’s take on Devender? He says that he pities the character. He …

Mirzapur, Glory creator Karan Anshuman wants to make a rom-com but ‘people keep dying’ as he writes: ‘Can’t control it’

Published by Parlour News

Screenwriter-director Karan Anshuman began his career in films, but it was on streaming that he found true mainstream success, first with the sports drama Inside Edge and subsequently with the cult hit Mirzapur. Karan has since worked on Rana Naidu and the upcoming Glory. All his shows have an undercurrent of crime. Glory, his upcoming Netflix show, merges the world of sports with a crime thriller. In a chat with Hindustan Times, Karan talks about his love for the genre and how the world of Glory differs from Mirzapur. Karan Anshuman’s new show, Glory, is releasing in May. ‘I start writing, and people start dying’ Glory centres on boxing but also explores a murder mystery. Ask him if it was a plan to unify the two genres he has done earlier – sports and crime – and he says, “It’s 100% subconscious.” Karan, who has created some of the most popular crime shows on Indian streaming, drops a bombshell. “I want nothing more to do than make a very sweet romcom.” But there is a …
