The trailer of Mirzapur Season 3 shows Guddu Pandit (portrayed by Ali Fazal) trying hard to consolidate his authority in Purvanchal, supported by Shweta Tripathi's character. Rasika Duggal, previously allied with Pankaj Tripathi's character, is now aligned with Guddu, as depicted in the last season.
In the trailer, Pankaj's character is heard saying, “Hum wo karwayenge jo Purvanchgal ke itihaas mein aaj tak nai hua. (Now it’s time to do what has never been done in Purvanchal.)”
Meanwhile, during a conversation with ANI, Ali accidentally confirmed that Panchayat’s Sachiv Ji, played by Jitendra Kumar, will make a special appearance in Mirzapur 3. He said, "That's cross-promotion. We have done that." In an appearance spanning over two episodes, Jitendra will be seen as Sachiv Ji, who will be engaged in the paperwork related to Kaleen Bhaiya's (Pankaj Tripathi) death.
The show has been primarily shot in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur, with bits and bytes being rolled around cities like Jaunpur, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Lucknow, Raebareli, Gorakhpur, and Varanasi. Season 1 aired in November 2018. After 2 long years, the second season was released. It was aired in October 2020. Now after 4 years, we are all set for the third season of the show.
