Mirzapur: All about its censorship
Back in 2021, the Supreme Court had issued a notice to Mirzapur makers, Amazon Prime Video and Excel Entertainment, over a plea of a petitioner who sought a ban on the second season of the series. In the petition, the plea claimed that the Mirzapur series has “completely tarnished the historical and cultural image of the city/district”.
The petition also urged to set up a pre-screening committee for programmes directly launched on OTTs.
In 2022, the apex court refused to stay the Mirzapur series while dismissing the case against its makers. Justice D Y Chandrachud stated that the series is “all fiction” and the court “can’t interfere” with it.
Later in October of the same year, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India UU Lalit in the Supreme Court said that the pre-censorship is impermissible.
Special appearance in Mirzapur Season 3
The third season of Mirzapur will have a cameo of actor Jitendra Kumar of Panchayat fame. In the series, Jitendra will portray the role of Sachiv Ji in two episodes. His character will be involved in the paperwork related to the demise of Kaleen Bhaiya, played by Pankaj Tripathi.
In a recent interview with ANI, Ali Fazal accidentally confirmed Jitendra’s role in Mirzapur Season 3. Ali said that it is a cross-promotion. His co-stars made him realize that it was a surprise element in the series.
