Mirzapur actors Abhishek Banerjee and Divyenndu team up for a new web series

Actors Abhishek Banerjee and Divyenndu are teaming up again for a new web show following their work together in the Mirzapur franchise. The two actors gained wide popularity for playing the characters Compounder and Munna Bhaiya. Their new project is an Empire-style drama being made for Amazon Prime Video and Endemol.

Project Details

Makers are keeping specific details about the plot and character roles hidden for now. The series will feature a larger-scale world and a storyline meant to show a different side of both performers, moving away from the gangster world they shared earlier. Abhishek Banerjee will headline the series, and Divyenndu will play a key role. The actors also recently shared screen space in Mirzapur: The Movie.

Other Upcoming Work

Abhishek Banerjee has multiple other projects lined up across different languages and genres. He is set to make his Tamil debut in a Netflix show alongside R. Madhavan, Nimisha Sajayan, and Gulshan Devaiah. He will also star in an action drama opposite Tiger Shroff, directed by Remo D'Souza, and has a psychological thriller with TVF in development. Divyenndu is scheduled to lead a period film next, followed by Madgaon Express 2, which will be directed by Kunal Kemmu. Divyenndu also recently received praise for his role as Sugam Mishra in Waiting Hai.

Context
