Is ‘Panchayat’ fame Jitendra Kumar a part of Prime Video’s ‘Mirzapur 3’? Ali Fazal says ‘We have…’

Amazon Prime Video is all set to release season three of Mirzapur on its platform on July 5. And report suggests it could also have a cameo or maybe a crossover between this show and Panchayat as Jitendra Kumar is rumored to have a special appearance.

Ali Fazal confirmed this crossover in an interview with ANI, stating, “That’s cross-promotion. We have done that.” The actor will portray Sachiv Ji, appearing in Mirzapur for paperwork related to the death of Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi).

Set in India’s hinterland, the Mirzapur franchise has captivated millions with its gripping saga of power, revenge, ambition, politics, betrayal, deceit, and intricate family dynamics. Building on the spine-chilling climax of the previous season, the trailer for Mirzapur Season 3 takes viewers back into an intriguing, yet a dark and brutal world of crime and power in Purvanchal. It will be interesting to see how the story unfolds and the creative envelope of storytelling is pushed further in the new season.

Talking about his character in an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Ali revealed, “Some of the darkest situation sometimes turn out to be funny. But it was so beautifully written actually. I have added some of my own nuances and the base of my character that was very strong. We keep taking Puneet Krishna’s name because that’s where the credit lies for creating the menace inside this guy’s head and even all the other characters. Then, I started of course, it’s always fun when I can take it to a place where it’s unpredictable.”

The actor added, “It’s all those layers of different flavors. You get in the right situation. Like I thought I wouldn’t change a thing in season 2. I got a lot of abuses since I was not doing pretty much anything in season two but that’s how it is. We have to be selfish about that if we want to be, what you call it, all loving.”
