‘Mirzapur 3’ bonus episode: Munna Bhaiyya set to return. Release date, plot, cast
Munna Bhaiyya was one of the highlights of ‘Mirzapur’. Divyendu Sharma’s electrifying performance made the character an audience favourite. However, did you know that Sharma almost didn’t land this role?
Initially, Amit Sial was considered for the role of Munna Tripathi in the web series Mirzapur, but he ultimately landed the part of Inspector Ram Sharan Maurya. The actor revealed this detail during an interview. He said, “Munna’s character in Mirzapur was offered to me, but obviously, I wouldn’t have been convincing as Pankaj Tripathi’s son. But I am very happy with the role I played. I think that’s a classic character.” But that’s not it. He expressed how Divyenndu Sharma left him in awe. He added that the actor is a very sweet friend and portrayed the character “exceptionally well”.
