Mirzapur: The Movie makers are aiming for an 'A' certificate, reveals director Gurmmeet Singh
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Speaking about the certification process, Singh shared the team has tried to retain the essence of Mirzapur while working within the Central Board of Movie Certification's (CBFC) guidelines.
Adding to this, "We're targeting an Adults Only certification straight away. Then, of course, the CBFC has its own guidelines regarding language, what we can say, and what we can't. We've tried to manage that and strike the right balance."
Meanwhile, Singh also shared he believes audiences have become more receptive to films made for mature viewers, allowing filmmakers greater creative freedom.
Notably, "I also think audiences have matured. If you look at films like Animal , Dhurandhar , and several other recent releases, you can see that adult storytelling is now finding space in theatres. I think that has also set a precedent, allowing us to bring something like Mirzapur: The Movie to the big screen without watering it down."
As per the latest buzz, Mirzapur: The Movie brings back several familiar faces from the popular crime franchise, including Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Divyenndu Sharma. The ensemble cast also features Abhishek Banerjee, Rasika Dugal, Mohitt Malik, Sheeba Chadha, Rajesh Tailang, Pramod Pathak, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Shweta Tripathi and Sonal S. Chauhan.
In further updates, Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, the movie is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. It is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under Excel Entertainment, with Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani serving as co-producers.
On top of that, Mirzapur: The Movie is scheduled to rollout in theatres on September 4, 2026, in Hindi and Telugu.
