The main actors Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, and Divyenndu are reprising their roles in Mirzapur: The Film, which is presently in production. The return of the original cast suggests that Jitendra Kumar and Ravi Kishan will also have important roles to play.

Jitendra Kumar and Ravi Kishan have both joined the film's production, the Hindustan Times reported. Their individual personalities haven't been made public yet, though.

The publication told, “Jitendra and Ravi Kishan have joined the cast of the film. The mahurat puja took place on Thursday, and both were present at the celebrations. Their characters are being kept as a big surprise for the fans.”

“The look tests and reading sessions of the cast have already started and will continue for the next few days. Jitendra and Ravi have also joined the pre-production work. The film will go on floors next month,” they added.

Karan Anshuman is the creator of the action-crime thriller series Mirzapur for Amazon Prime Video. The screenplay was co-written by Puneet Krishna and Vineet Krishna in addition to Karan.

The narrative centres on Akhandanand "Kaleen" Tripathi, a businessman and criminal who is regarded as the de facto head of the Mirzapur district in Uttar Pradesh, India's Purvanchal region.
