Mirzapur: The Movie is set to retain the gritty, violent world that made the streaming series a massive success. Director Gurmmeet Singh has revealed that the makers are directly targeting an Adults Only (‘A’) certificate for the theatrical release, signalling that fans can expect the franchise’s trademark intensity on the big screen.
The much-awaited crime drama is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 4, 2026, in Hindi and Telugu.
Director Confirms ‘A’ Certificate Plan
Speaking about the film’s certification, Gurmmeet Singh revealed that the team is intentionally making the movie for adult audiences rather than trying to soften its content.
He shared that the makers are aiming straight for an ‘A’ certificate, while ensuring the film complies with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) guidelines regarding language and other theatrical standards.
According to Singh, the challenge has been finding the right balance between preserving the essence of Mirzapur and meeting theatrical certification requirements.
‘We Don’t Want to Water It Down’
The director also believes that Indian audiences have evolved and are now more accepting of mature storytelling in theatres.
He pointed out that recent films featuring intense themes and adult narratives have demonstrated that viewers are willing to embrace darker, more realistic stories on the big screen.
This shift, according to Singh, has given the makers confidence to adapt Mirzapur into a theatrical experience without diluting its violence, strong characters or raw storytelling.
