Mirzapur: The Movie Cast Fees Revealed: Pankaj Tripathi Takes ₹15 Crore, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu Sharma and Shweta Tripathi…

The Mirzapur franchise is finally making its much-awaited jump from streaming to the big screen, and the return of its popular characters has already created enormous buzz among fans.

With Mirzapur: The Movie set to hit theatres on September 4, 2026, attention is now turning to another interesting detail surrounding the project — the reported fees of its star cast.

The film brings back franchise favourites including Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit, Divyenndu Sharma as Munna Tripathi and Shweta Tripathi as Golu Gupta. Ravi Kishan, Jitendra Kumar and several other actors are also part of the theatrical adaptation.

According to media reports, Pankaj Tripathi is comfortably ahead of his co-stars when it comes to remuneration, with a reported ₹15 crore fee. The figures, however, are based on reports from public sources and have not been officially confirmed by the filmmakers or actors.

Pankaj Tripathi reportedly takes ₹15 crore

There may be several powerful characters in the Mirzapur universe, but when it comes to the reported paycheque, Kaleen Bhaiya appears to be sitting firmly on top.

Pankaj Tripathi is reportedly earning around ₹15 crore for Mirzapur: The Movie, making him the highest-paid actor in the project.

Tripathi’s portrayal of Akhandanand Tripathi, popularly known as Kaleen Bhaiya, has been one of the defining performances of the franchise since its debut in 2018.

His quiet menace, controlled expressions and understated authority turned Kaleen Bhaiya into one of the most recognisable characters in Indian streaming entertainment.

For the theatrical adaptation, that popularity appears to have translated into the biggest reported fee among the principal cast.

Ali Fazal reportedly gets ₹4 crore

Next on the reported remuneration list is Ali Fazal, who returns as the hugely popular Guddu Pandit.

Fazal is reportedly being paid around ₹4 crore for the film.

Guddu’s journey has been one of the central storylines of Mirzapur, transforming from an ambitious young man into one of the major contenders for control of the crime empire.

The theatrical film once again places Guddu in the battle for power, with the trailer teasing fresh rivalries and a much larger world beyond the familiar setting of Purvanchal.

The reported ₹4 crore fee puts Fazal well behind Tripathi’s remuneration, but his character remains one of the most important parts of the franchise.

Divyenndu Sharma’s comeback comes with ₹3 crore

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the film is the return of Divyenndu Sharma as Munna Tripathi.

Munna’s character had met a dramatic fate in the original series, making his appearance in the movie one of the most talked-about aspects of the project.

For his return, Divyenndu is reportedly receiving around ₹3 crore.

The actor’s comeback has already generated considerable excitement, particularly among long-time Mirzapur viewers who have followed Munna’s chaotic rise and rivalry with Guddu.

The theatrical film is expected to revisit the character in a fresh chapter of the franchise, giving Divyenndu another opportunity to bring his trademark intensity to the role.

Jitendra Kumar reportedly earns ₹1.5 crore

Jitendra Kumar is another notable addition to the cast and is reportedly charging around ₹1.5 crore.

He plays Bablu Pandit, a role originally portrayed by Vikrant Massey in the series.

The casting has naturally attracted attention because of the character’s history in the franchise, while Kumar’s presence introduces a different dynamic to the film’s ensemble.

His reported remuneration is significantly lower than those of Tripathi, Fazal and Divyenndu, but the actor’s growing popularity has made his involvement another talking point around the movie.

Shweta Tripathi reportedly gets ₹95 lakh

Shweta Tripathi Sharma, who returns as Gajgamini ‘Golu’ Gupta, is reportedly earning around ₹95 lakh for the film.

Golu has evolved into one of the franchise’s strongest characters, particularly as her storyline became increasingly intertwined with the struggle for control of Mirzapur.

Her return is therefore an important part of the movie’s continuity.

While her reported fee is below those of the male leads, Golu’s role remains central to the power struggle that drives the franchise.

The reported salary gap is striking

The reported figures reveal a sizeable difference between the highest-paid and lowest-paid names among the principal actors whose fees have been reported.

Note: These remuneration figures are based on media reports and public sources. They have not been officially confirmed by the film’s makers or the actors.

Mirzapur: The Movie arrives with a ₹250 crore reported budget

The reported salaries become even more interesting when placed against the reported overall scale of the project.

Mirzapur: The Movie is reportedly being made on a budget of around ₹250 crore, although this figure too remains an estimate and has not been officially confirmed.

The film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna, with Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar producing it under Excel Entertainment. It is scheduled to release in Hindi and Telugu on September 4.

The recently released trailer has also indicated that the film will expand the franchise’s world beyond the familiar lanes of Purvanchal, while keeping its central battle for the gaddi intact.

A new chapter for the Mirzapur franchise

The move from an OTT series to a theatrical film is a major step for the franchise.

Since its debut, Mirzapur has developed a fiercely loyal audience, with Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Bhaiya becoming household names among Indian streaming audiences.

Now, the makers are attempting to bring that same bhaukaal to cinema screens.

The reported fees provide an interesting glimpse into how the cast’s commercial value is being viewed, but the real test will come at the box office.

If the film succeeds, the reported ₹15 crore investment in Pankaj Tripathi and the rest of the ensemble could prove to be money well spent.

For fans, however, the bigger question is much simpler: Who will finally take the gaddi?
