Mirzapur season 3 cast: ‘Munna Bhaiya’ Divyendu Sharma gives update on role in Amazon Prime Video series
Divyendu Sharma, famous for his portrayal of Munna Bhaiya, officially announced his departure from Mirzapur season 3. In a conversation with the Humans of Bombay, Divyendu revealed his decision, addressing the emotional toll the role had on him. “On Humans of Bombay, I shall declare, I am not a part of Mirzapur season 3,” he stated, breaking the hearts of many Mirzapur fans.
Munna Bhaiya is a central figure in the iconic series, earning both critical acclaim and a massive fan following. Divyendu opened up about the challenges of playing such a dark character, saying, “When I was in character, it was affecting my personality a lot. We shouldn’t over-romantize going too deep into a character, because it is not easy. At times, it used to get really dark for me. I felt suffocated. It’s so tricky that you don’t even realize that you are in that zone. It’s only when you come out of it do you realize how dark it was.”
Despite the absence of Munna Bhaiya, the much-awaited season promises to be as thrilling as ever. Mirzapur season 3 is gearing up to premiere worldwide on July 5, 2024. The show continues with a stellar ensemble cast, including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Vijay Varma, and many more.
While fans may miss Munna Bhaiya’s presence, the excitement for the new season remains high.
