Although the specifics of their roles are still unknown, it will be intriguing to watch if they portray a well-known series character or if the filmmakers create a brand-new character for the movie. The report further added, "The look tests and reading sessions of the cast have already started and will continue for the next few days. Jitendra and Ravi have also joined the pre-production work. The film will go on floors next month.” 

In 2024, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu appeared in a teaser video for the Mirzapur film. Since then, viewers have been anxiously awaiting the filmmakers' interpretation of Mirzapur's complex family drama, political scheming, and unadulterated bloodshed on the big screen.

Ali Fazal alluded to the movie's potential to transport viewers back in time in a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Fans are left to wonder if the film is a prequel when he hinted that some deceased characters might make a comeback without giving away too much. He likened the action to Peaky Blinders' decision to turn its narrative into a movie. The plot is about to take a drastic turn with the arrival of Ravi and Jitendra, which could permanently change the dynamics of Mirzapur.
