As Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar’s Mirzapur Season 2 completes six years, the makers took to social media to celebrate the milestone with a special post.
Back in 2020, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment gifted the fans of Mirzapur a special second season that ruled hearts. Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, Mirzapur Season 2 premiered on Amazon Prime Video on October 23, 2020, carrying forward the narrative of power and revenge in the Purvanchal region. Featuring an ensemble cast led by Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Shweta Tripathi, and Rasika Dugal, the second season picked up from a cliffhanger and threw audiences into a world of politics, grief, and a war for the “gaddi.” The gritty plot, performances, and drama impressed viewers, breaking viewership records and making its place as a pop culture masterpiece.
Marking this milestone, the makers shared a special video celebrating the journey of the show, capturing the unforgettable faces, rivalries, and intensity that defined the season. Sharing the nostalgic look back, they added the caption:
“Yeh bhi theek hai.
