New motion poster of Mirzapur starring Ali Fazal and Vikrant Massey raises intrigue

A whirling machine, a country pistol and a hardbound book feature in the new motion poster of Mirzapur, an upcoming Amazon Prime Video original starring Ali Fazal, Vikrant Massy, Shweta Tripathi, and Pankaj Tripathi and Rasika Dugal.

Created by Karan Anushman and Puneet Krishna and produced by Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur is an earthy gangster-drama set in North India and shot extensively in Varanasi, Mirzapur, and Mumbai. The show marks the web-space debut of director Gurmeet Singh. The filmmaker had previously directed the feature film, Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene (2015).
