Ali Fazal teases dead character's return in Mirzapur S3 bonus episode, fans want it to be Munna bhaiya

In a fresh update, Amazon Prime Video has announced that the recently concluded Mirzapur Season 3 isn’t over just yet. The makers and the streamer will present a bonus episode of the show, later this month. The announcement was made in a unique manner with Ali Fazal who plays Guddu Pandit on the show, asking viewers to keep a ‘paini nazar’ on the episode.?

“y'all are not ready for this Bonus episode aane wala hai, gaddi ki peti baandh lijiye #MirzapurOnPrime,” Prime Video wrote in the caption accompanying the teaser.

Guddu Bhaiya also teased the return of a ‘stud type guy’ who he had killed. He hinted that the guy he killed is ‘too cool to stay dead’ and is keen to come back.?

Shortly after the video appeared on social media, fans started speculating in the comments about which character might be making a return. Many viewers seem to believe that Munna Bhaiya (Divyenndu) could be making an appearance in the bonus episode.

The internet is divided over the announcement, some are calling it damage control others are looking forward to it

Many people on the internet feel this is the makers way of damage control as the latest season couldn’t create the expected hype. The third season which was released on July 5 opened to lukewarm reception.

On the teaser which was shared by Prime Video, one user wrote, “Is guddu talking about Munna bhaiya !?!?”.

Another one commented, “Abbe Munna Bhaiya Aa Rahe Hain Nacho Bhai?”

A third user said, “Amar hai Munna bhaiya ???......Ab aayega maza....mein session 3 dekha nahi tha...kyu ki Munna bhaiya nahi the usme”.

In a separate discussion on Reddit, one user called Munna bhaiya the ‘new age Mihir Virani’.?

Another wrote, “They realized how bad the s3 was, so something interesting to keep the hype up for s4”.

One user hope, “I hope it's the last episode of the series and they end this sh*t show.”

Mirzapur Season 3 fell short of meeting audience expectations.

Many fans expressed disappointment, noting that after the original Mirzapur Season 1, the show's appeal significantly waned. Season 3, in particular, was criticized for being dull, partly due to the reduced presence of Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi). Shweta Tripathi’s character was seen as less compelling, and she often felt out of place. Following Munna's death in Season 2, Guddu's role diminished to unremarkable scenes, including the uninteresting jail interaction with his father. The political subplot involving the CM was also deemed tedious. With the show having been on hiatus for four years, expectations were high but not fully met.?

Whether the bonus episode can restore the show’s former charm or join the ranks of forgettable Season 3 remains to be seen.

Produced by Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur Season 3 premiered on July 5 after a four-year hiatus. Co-directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer, the new season features 10 episodes. The star-studded cast includes Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Vijay Varma, Isha Talwar, Anjum Sharma, Priyanshu Painyuli, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chadha, Meghna Malik, and Manu Rishi Chadha.
