Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleMirzapur: The Movie has been making headlines ever since it was announced. The film will be released on September 4, 2026, and the series fans cannot wait to see what's in store for them. Amid the wait, let's take a look at what the cast is charging for their roles in the film.
Mirzapur: The Movie will soon hit theatres, and fans cannot keep calm. There have been several conversations about who will be returning to the film and how much they will be charging for their respective roles. The lineup features an incredible ensemble of actors headlined by Pankaj Tripathi, who will be making an appearance on the big screen as the formidable yet understated mob boss 'Kaleen Bhaiya'.
Ali Fazal as the vengeful 'Guddu Pandit', Divyenndu Sharma as the unpredictable 'Munna Tripathi', and Shweta Tripathi Sharma as the fierce 'Golu Gupta'. While the lead cast is enough to draw most to the theatres, Mirzapur: The Movie also features a stellar supporting cast we cannot ignore.
Alongside Pankaj Tripathi, fans will get to see a supporting cast that includes Abhishek Banerjee as the fiercely loyal 'Compounder', Rasika Dugal as the shrewd and calculating 'Beena Tripathi', and Ravi Kishan as 'Babban Babua Yadav'. The film also stars Harshita Gaur as 'Dimpy Pandit' and Shriya Pilgaonkar as 'Sweety Gupta'.
Additionally, fans will see other known names such as Sheeba Chaddha, Satendra Soni, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, and Sushant Singh in pivotal roles. Mohit Malik and Sonal Chauhan are also part of the lineup. However, the biggest change is Jitendra Kumar stepping into the role of 'Bablu Pandit'. The role was originally played by Vikrant Massey in the series. The character's return has generated considerable interest because of 'Bablu's' importance to 'Guddu's' story.
Now that we have familiarised ourselves with the cast of Mirzapur: The Movie, let's take a quick look at how much they will be taking home for their work in the film. According to reports, the film has an estimated production budget of around Rs. 250 crores. While the amount has not been confirmed by the makers, it has created intense chatter around what the star-studded cast might be charging for their roles.
According to NDTV, Pankaj Tripathi has been ruling the list, just like he has been ruling hearts with the series ever since it first premiered. It is being alleged that Pankaj commands the highest fee for Mirzapur: The Movie at approximately Rs. 15 crore. The second on the list is Ali Fazal, who is reportedly charging Rs. 4 crore, while Divyenndu is said to have taken home Rs. 3 crore. Meanwhile, joining the film and the series for the first time, Jitendra Kumar reportedly has a remuneration of Rs. 1.5 crore.
Additionally, Shweta Tripathi was paid around Rs. 95 lakh. Talking about the veteran actor Ravi Kishan, he is reported to have charged between Rs. 2 crore and Rs. 2.5 crore for his role in Mirzapur: The Movie, and as it turns out, money does follow (iykyk). While we are talking about the film, let's also take a quick look at what the theatrical adaptation of the much-loved series is about.
The Mirzapur series garnered a cult following without a massive name attached to it and changed the destinies of several actors. The series first premiered on Amazon Prime Video on November 16, 2018, and now, after running for three seasons, it's all set to make its theatrical debut. Mirzapur: The Movie was first announced by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment on February 6, 2026, and now, after months of waiting, we are hours away from the film's release.
After winning over the fans with the world of 'Kaleen Bhaiya', 'Guddu Pandit' and 'Munna Tripathi', Mirzapur is all set to make its theatrical debut on Friday, September 4, 2026. The film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and created by Puneet Krishna. However, fans have been curious about what to expect from Mirzapur: The Movie. According to TMDB, the official synopsis of the film reads:
"The battle for Mirzapur's throne escalates as old enemies resurface and new threats emerge. Blood debts must be paid while power-hungry contenders fight to control the city's violent underworld."
The film continues the Mirzapur franchise's familiar struggle for control of Mirzapur. The theatrical format also allows the makers to expand the world beyond the scale of the streaming series. With 'Kaleen Bhaiya' and 'Guddu' once again positioned at the centre of the conflict, the film promises another chapter in the long-running fight for the gaddi. However, is it just a summary of Mirzapur Season 1? Well, according to reports, the film is a standalone.
While the details are yet to be revealed, it is alleged that the film is a standalone theatrical prequel rather than a direct continuation and is set between Episodes 6 and 7 of Mirzapur Season 1. According to Ali Fazal, the audience is advised to watch Episodes 1-6 of Season 1 before watching Mirzapur: The Movie. He has claimed that these episodes establish the central characters, the power structure in Mirzapur, 'Guddu's' transformation, 'Kaleen Bhaiya's' empire and the relationships that drive the franchise.
