He added: “I wasn’t surprised when that [Mirzapur] came from Amazon, I would love there to be another series but I don’t know.”

“I came to know about it after shooting for 15 days. I was a little taken aback.
“It was a well-written character and I wouldn’t have backed out, but I had no clue about this.”
Divyendu Sharma will surely return as Munna Bhaiyya, the son of mafia boss Akhandanand Tripathi, played by Pankaj Tripathi.
Besides the main cast, other returning cast members to Mirzapur include Shweta Tripathi as Golu Gupta, Rasika Dugal as Beena Tripathi, Harshita Gaur as Dimpi Pandit, Anangsha Biswas as Zarina and Kulbhushan Kharbanda as Bauji.

Farhan Akhtar said: “The characters were people that you can relate with and of course the drama.”
He added: “The end of each episode was very important, it was very smartly done. It is the kind of raw, grit, drama, very rough and that is something.”
Akhtar added: “I want to say we are very excited about doing a season two and we are very much excited about who successful the first one was and hopefully, with the right people season two will be if not more [successful].”
It is likely the next season will showcase Guddu taking revenge against the Tripathi family after Munna (played by Divyendu Sharma) killed Sweety (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Bablu (Vikrant Massey).
However, Guddu will be under threat from Sharad (Anjum Sharma) after Guddu killed his father Rati Shankar Shukla (Shubrajyoti Bharat).
