Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi starrer ‘Mirzapur’ is one of the most successful and popular series of Prime Video. Ever since the first season of this series came out, its characters had a tremendous fan following among the audience. From Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit to Munna Bhaiya, all the characters were liked by the audience. The character of Munna Bhaiya in the series was played by Divyendu Sharma. In the first and second seasons of Mirzapur, Divyendu Sharma created a stir with the character of Munna Bhaiya, but he was not seen in the third season, due to which the audience missed him a lot. But, do you know that Divyendu Sharma was not the first choice of the makers for the role of Munna Bhaiya.
Divyendu became famous by playing the character of Munna Bhaiya
‘We are the heroes of Hindi films, no one can kill us. We are immortal’. Divyendu Sharma, who made a special place in people’s hearts with his dialogues, could become ‘Munna Bhaiya’ only because of one actor’s ‘no’. Who was the makers’ first choice for Mirzapur’s Munna Bhaiya and why did he refuse to do this series, let us tell you.
Before Divyendu Sharma, he was offered Munna Bhaiya’s role
Actually, before Divyendu Sharma, the role of ‘Munna Bhaiya’ was offered to Amit Sial. Amit is also famous for his role of Brijesh Bhan in ‘Jamtara’. Amit Sial recently revealed in a conversation with Filmigyan that the role of Munna Bhaiya was first offered to him. He said, ‘The role of Munna Bhaiya in Mirzapur was first offered to me. But it is clear that I cannot look like Pankaj Tripathi’s son, so I refused this role. I am very happy with my decision that I did what I think is right for me. He has become a classic character. Divyendu has played this role very beautifully.
Will Divyendu Sharma return?
Let us tell you, 3 seasons of ‘Mirzapur’ have been released so far and all three seasons were super-duper hits. The character of Munna Bhaiya, who created a ruckus in the first and second seasons, dies at the end of season 2, due to which he is not seen in the third season. But, it is being claimed that Divyendu Sharma can re-enter as Munna Bhaiya in the fourth season. Now how this happens and whether it will happen or not, it will be known only in the upcoming season.
Amit was seen in this role in Mirzapur
Let us tell you, Amit Sial may not have played the character of ‘Munna Bhaiya’ in Mirzapur, but he appeared in a different character in the same series. He played the character of SP ‘Ram Sharan Maurya’ in the series, to whom the case of Mirzapur is handed over. Amit was seen in the first season of the series. Talking about the work front, Amit Sial has appeared in many films and web series including ‘Maharani’, ‘Titli’, ‘Jamtara’, ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’.
