Rumors have been swirling about a potential movie adaptation of the popular OTT series Mirzapur, with speculation that Hrithik Roshan might take on the role of Kaleen Bhaiya, the notorious kingpin character. While there has been no official confirmation, fans on social media have had strong reactions to this news, with many expressing their concerns and hopes about the casting.
Hrithik Roshan as Kaleen Bhaiya? Fans React
Hrithik Roshan is one of Bollywood’s top stars, known for his roles in action-packed films and larger-than-life characters. However, hearing that he might step into the shoes of Kaleen Bhaiya, originally played by Pankaj Tripathi in Mirzapur, has left some fans uneasy.
Social media has been buzzing with reactions. Many fans have voiced their disapproval, urging Hrithik not to take on this role. One fan wrote, “Hrithik, please don’t do this movie. You are best suited for big action films. No need to experiment with this.” Another commented, “You hardly do any films, so why choose this? Stick to your original projects.” The general sentiment seems to be that while Hrithik is known for experimenting with his roles, fans want him to focus on larger action films rather than stepping into a character like Kaleen Bhaiya.
Negative Characters and Hrithik’s Recent Experiments
Despite the backlash, Hrithik has recently shown interest in playing more complex, darker roles. His portrayal of a negative character in Vikram Vedha earned him praise, which is why some believe he might be open to taking on the challenging role of Kaleen Bhaiya. In recent years, several leading actors have shifted towards playing antagonists, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Hrithik followed that trend.
However, Mirzapur fans have a deep connection to Pankaj Tripathi’s portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya, and many are worried that Hrithik’s casting might change the essence of the character.
Director Gurmeet Singh on the Film’s Future
The buzz around a Mirzapur movie picked up after series director Gurmeet Singh was asked about the possibility of a big-screen adaptation. While speaking to a media outlet, Gurmeet stated that nothing has been finalized yet regarding the film. He added that the decision lies with the producers and studios, and an official announcement would clarify the situation.
When questioned about the casting rumors involving Hrithik, Gurmeet chose not to comment, leaving fans wondering whether the superstar is actually in talks for the role.
What About Munna Bhaiya and Sharad Shukla?
While discussing the future of Mirzapur, the director also touched upon the series’ upcoming fourth season. He confirmed that characters like Munna Bhaiya and Sharad Shukla, who were central to the storyline, will not return since both met their end in the last season. This statement puts to rest any Rumors about these characters making a comeback.
Gurmeet also revealed that the writing for season 4 is currently underway. He emphasized that the show’s creators are sticking to their formula of introducing a new theme in each season, just like they did in the previous one. In season 3, the theme was about the consequences of a young king’s madness leading to his downfall, reflected through the arc of Ali Fazal’s character.
What to Expect in Season 4
As for what’s in store for Mirzapur season 4, the director hinted that viewers can expect something fresh and different. Like the previous seasons, the goal is to provide a new perspective that will keep the audience hooked. Fans of the series are eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds in the upcoming installment.
Whether Hrithik Roshan will step into the shoes of Kaleen Bhaiya in the potential movie remains to be seen. For now, fans can only speculate, and the wait for official announcements continues.
