Pankaj Tripathi
, known for his role as Kaleen Bhaiya, recently dropped a crucial update that the film shoot might commence within the next month.
Pankaj Tripathi Confirms Movie Update
Speaking to Zoom while promoting his latest release Metro… In Dino, Pankaj Tripathi hinted that the team behind Mirzapur is preparing to begin shooting the film soon. Tripathi, who had just returned from a family trip to Lucknow, said he had limited information but had heard the shoot may start in about a month. He said, "While I am yet to get all the details, I believe the shoot will begin in a month or so."
Although the statement was brief, fans have taken it as an informal confirmation of the project's progress.
Farhan Akhtar's Announcement Confirms 2026 Release
Well before Tripathi's comment, co-producer Farhan Akhtar had already stirred excitement by announcing Mirzapur: The Film on his social media in October 2024. His post read, 'Ab bhaukaal bhi bada hoga, aur parda bhi. #MirzapurTheFilm, coming soon.' That teaser marked the official green light for the adaptation, with a release planned for 2026.
The project is being helmed by Gurmeet Singh, who has directed earlier seasons, while series creator Puneet Krishna is writing the film. The producers at Excel Entertainment are expected to retain the franchise's gritty essence while scaling up the cinematic experience.
Mirzapur Season 4 Also In The Works
Tripathi also confirmed that Mirzapur Season 4 is in development and is expected to stream sometime in 2025. After the dramatic end of Season 3, which saw Guddu (Ali Fazal) rise to power while Kaleen Bhaiya plots a return, and a surprise bonus episode hinting at Munna's potential comeback, anticipation has only grown. The upcoming season is expected to pick up directly from where the last left off, promising more twists, power struggles, and revenge.
With Mirzapur: The Film, it will be the first time a homegrown OTT property transitions into a theatrical feature, signifying the massive popularity and impact the show has had since its debut on Amazon Prime Video. With key cast members like Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and possibly Divyenndu expected to return, fans can look forward to a gripping new chapter in the Mirzapur universe.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 15: Aamir Khan's emotional sequel slows but stays strong at ₹135 Cr
Aamir Khan's much-anticipated sequel 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has wrapped up its second week at the box office with a steady yet slowing performance. On Day 14 (Thursday), the film collected ₹ 2.5 crore across India, bringing its total net collection in the domestic market to ₹ 135.4 crore. The day 15 collection marks a 9.09% drop from the previous day, signalling the expected weekday slump following a decent second weekend. The week two total stands at ₹ 46.5 crore, which is a 47.69% drop from the opening week—indicating a clear slowdown in momentum as the film enters its third weekend. Despite the dip, the film's overall performance remains strong. The 15-day India gross stands at ₹ 161.90 crore, while the worldwide total has reached an impressive ₹ 214.50 crore. Of this, overseas earnings contribute ₹ 52.60 crore, a sign that Aamir Khan's global appeal remains intact. Occupancy figures reflect the gradual decline in footfall. On Day 15, Hindi (2D) occupancy averaged just over 10% throughout the day, with morning shows seeing 7.66% attendance, gradually rising to 11.97% by night. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 cult classic 'Taare Zameen Par'. The film stars Aamir Khan as a basketball coach assigned to train a group of neurodivergent children after being involved in a driving-related incident. Genelia D'Souza co-stars, and the film notably features ten neurodivergent debutant actors. On Wednesday, the cast and crew held a special screening in Mumbai for specially-abled students, attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Amruta Fadnavis. As the film enters its third week, it faces competition from 'Metro…In Dino', a multi-starrer directed by Anurag Basu. With big names like Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Sara Ali Khan, the new release could impact Sitaare Zameen Par's box office run. Produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, the film continues to hold its ground with its emotional narrative and inclusive casting.

Anurag Basu reveals 'Metro… In Dino' was originally meant for Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma
Anurag Basu's 'Metro… In Dino' continues the story from 'Life in a… Metro', originally meant for Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma. Basu prioritized music and cast singers first. He values honesty in filmmaking, avoiding overthinking. The film's acclaimed cast includes Neena Gupta and Pankaj Tripathi. Basu's next project stars Kartik Aaryan. Anurag Basu 's latest film, 'Metro… In Dino', has resonated deeply with audiences as a heartfelt continuation of the story begun in 'Life in a… Metro', which starred Irrfan Khan . Although nearly twenty years passed before revisiting this universe, Anurag's connection to Irrfan's memory remained a powerful influence throughout the project. Casting Approach: Singers Before Actors In a detailed conversation with News18, Basu opened up about his musical romantic drama and why Konkona Sen Sharma was the sole returning actor, with the rest of the cast being new faces. He explained "Vo, kya hai… Sabse pehle jab maine likhna shuru kiya tha, toh 3–4 saal pehle ek baar likh ke maine usko side mein rakh diya tha. When I was writing that film, Konkona aur Irrfan ki story main aage le ke jaa raha tha — from the earlier Metro". Later, he got busy with other projects and didn't immediately return to this film. When he finally revisited the script, the core story remained unchanged. Since Konkona's role was always in his mind, he naturally reached out to her to reprise it: 'Konkona ki casting mere dimaag mein pehle se thi, toh naturally… I called her.' Philosophy on Filmmaking and Honesty He shared that unlike the usual practice of casting actors first, he actually chose the singers before the actors for 'Metro… In Dino'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Chuckling, he confessed that composer Pritam was always a key part of his vision, stating, 'Konkona and Pritam were the first final casting for this film." Known for treating music as more than just background, Basu considers it a vital character in his films, giving his musicals a unique essence. When asked about India's readiness for musicals, he confidently responded, 'Yes, absolutely. If you look back at the old films, where our cinema began, this is our history. We had lost our way somewhere in the middle." Basu shared that his deep bond with music doesn't make him anxious about a film's success. He believes overthinking can hinder honesty in filmmaking, turning the process into constant doubts like 'will this work or not, let's do this instead, let's add that,' which he calls dishonesty towards the film. His philosophy is to create with honesty and give your best. He humorously remarked that if the goal is simply to please everyone, then it's better to make rajma chawal instead — questioning the very purpose of making a film. Current Success and Future Projects On the work front, Anurag Basu is currently receiving widespread acclaim for 'Metro… In Dino', which boasts an ensemble cast including Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher , Saswata Chatterjee, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan. Looking ahead, he is working on a new musical drama featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela in the lead roles.
