Ritesh Sidwani shared the banner teaser on his Twitter handle with a caption which reads as ‘Welcome to Mirzapur’ in Hindi.
A gangster saga, the web series based in Benaras, Mirzapur stars Shweta Tripathi and Ali Fazal in lead roles and directed by Karan Anshuman.
In an interview with News18, Shweta Tripathi had revealed some details of her character, “In Mirzapur, I play the character Golu Gupta, the younger sister whose world lies in books. She’s a confident girl from Mirzapur who believes in living and doing things her way. Straightforward and honest, she doesn’t mince her words while talking.”
The Prime Original series will release later this year.
In 2018, Ali Fazal looked at the script for Mirzapur and decided a revolution was coming. Nobody around him agreed. They told him to stick to films. Eight years later, Mirzapur is becoming a film.
They have not worked together since a film that a generation of Hindi cinema fans still quote from memory. Now Saif Ali Khan and Farhan Akhtar are back in business.
The Amazon CEO added that the operational experience and innovations developed through India’s quick-commerce model are also helping Amazon scale similar services in the United States and other global markets.
