ISRO

This time, the epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. The series has an ensemble cast of characters, some familiar while others new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth.

The new season will see seasoned police officer DCP Vartika Chaturvedi (played by Shefali Shah) spearheading her team by along with the newly promoted Neeti Singh (played by Rasika Duggal) and Vartika's right hand man Bhupendra Singh aka Bhupi (played by Rajesh Tailang), as they delve into another challenging investigation.

The trailer shows Vineet's character of Haroon Shah Ali Baig aka Saheb getting released from jail after 11 years where he was imprisoned for over 32 criminal charges including murder, kidnapping and extortion.

Mor made her debut in the Telugu/Kannada industries with the bilingual romantic action entertainer 'Bhairava Geetha'. Her performance caught the attention of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who cast her in some of his films including the multilingual crime drama 'D Company' in 2021 and the political thriller 'Konda', in which she essayed the role of politician Konda Surekha.

Rather than base its rankings on box-office collections, small statistical samplings, or reviews from professional critics, IMDb draws on IMDbPro data on page views of IMDb users in India. In the movies list, 'The Kashmir Files', the surprise hit of the year, is followed by the epic period dramas from the South, the Yash-starrer 'K.G.F: Chapter 2' and S.S. Rajamouli's 'RRR', in the second and third spots. Alia Bhatt's 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' shares the fourth position with the Tamil action thriller 'Vikram', starring Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Faahad Faasil.

Shedding light on how the makers approached the shooting for fighter planes in the series, Samar Khan shared, "We have shot the entire sequences in 3 parts. The first part was the live action where the fighter jets take off and land. The second part consisting of aerial combat is CG (Computer Graphics).

Mirzapur Season 3 also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi, Vijay Verma and Isha Talwar. It is backed by the Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's production house, Excel Entertainment. Rasika's upcoming projects include Adhura, Spike, Delhi Crime Season 2, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli and Fairy Folk.

According to a source, "Ali Fazal is currently prepping for the action sequences that are part of the script of this upcoming season." "The training is currently underway and he's been doing this for a few weeks now ahead of the start of the shoot which is set to commence soon. Ali Fazal is giving all his efforts to this role and has already started taking basic wrestling lessons for the same".

The series will be co-directed by the National award winning director, Hansal Mehta ('Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story' and 'Shahid') and Tushar Hiranandani ('Saand Ki Aankh'). While Pratik Gandhi impressed the audience with his work in first season, director Mukesh Chhabra has roped in veteran theatre artiste Gagan Dev Riar to play the role of Abdul Karim Telgi, who built an empire through counterfeiting stamps.

Talking about how it feels to return to this story and character after such a long break, Brown said: "Well, we came back in early 2020 but, due to COVID, we had to shut down production. I had a solid eight months off. It felt really nice to get back to work. I'd been inside and not really doing much. It was nice to be able to get back to work and get back to a schedule, and to reconnect with Eleven again."
