The famous web series 'Mirzapur' is now preparing to hit the big screen. Fans have had immense excitement for this popular series from the start, and now the makers are presenting it as a film.
Mirzapur: OTT's most talked-about web series, 'Mirzapur', is now ready to make a splash on the big screen. According to reports, a major change will be seen in this film. This time, the story will feature 'Panchayat's' famous Sachiv Ji, i.e., Jitendra Kumar. This news is no less than a surprise for the fans because 'Jeetu Bhaiya' received tremendous popularity and love from 'Panchayat'. Now, his entry with the Mirzapur film will bring new spice and excitement for the audience.
Vikrant Massey out, Jitendra Kumar to enter
In the Mirzapur web series, the pair of Ali Fazal (Guddu Pandit) and Vikrant Massey (Bablu Pandit) created a huge impact. But this pair will not be seen completely in the film. According to reports, Vikrant Massey will not be a part of the film due to his other projects. Due to this, the makers have now prepared to cast Jitendra Kumar as the new Bablu Pandit.

To capitalize on this OTT popularity, he is being brought into the Mirzapur film. Now the question is, will this character of Sachiv Ji also remain as simple? Or will a new, powerful, and violent form of Jitendra Kumar be seen in the world of bloodshed and gang war of Mirzapur?
