One of the most-loved characters from the gangster thriller, Phoolchand ‘Munna’ Tripathi, played by Divyendu Sharma, who was originally killed by Ali Fazal’s Guddu Pandit in the finale of season 2, made a jaw-dropping comeback in the bonus episode on Friday.

However, the 26-minute footage of the bonus episode, marking the comeback of Munna Bhaiya, released two months after season 3 premiered on the streaming platform, is the compilation of the deleted scenes, as teased in the promotional video by Sharma.

“Hum kya gaye, pura bawaal mach gaya. Suna hai humare loyal fans bohut miss kiye humko. Season 3 me kuch cheezein miss kiye aap. Wo hum khoj ke le aaye hain, just for you,” he said in the date announcement clip.

The bonus episode is now available to stream.

Notably, the 10-episodic part 1 of ‘Mirzapur’ season 3 started streaming on OTT platform Amazon Prime Video last month.
