Abhishek Banerjee and Divyenndu shared the stage at the trailer launch of Mirzapur: The Movie, where Banerjee opened up about the bond between their characters. The actor, known for playing Compounder in the franchise, made it clear where his character's loyalty stands.
Abhishek Banerjee reveals Compounder's loyalty in Mirzapur: The Movie
Speaking at the event, Banerjee explained the unique dynamic in the Mirzapur universe. He said, "Mirzapur ki duniya mein sab ek doosre ko maarna chahte hain, par kuch kirdaar aise hote hain jo kisi ke liye jaan de sakte hain. Aur Compounder unme se ek hain. Loyalty hain Munna Bhaiya ke liye. Hum vistaar se bata sakte hain, lekin aap jaldi the late ho jaoge!"
According to Bollywood Hungama, the line carries special weight for fans of the series. It echoes a dialogue earlier delivered by Ravi Kishan in the franchise, which has since gained recognition among viewers.
Munna Bhaiya and Compounder's on-screen dynamic continues
Banerjee and Divyenndu, who play Compounder and Munna Bhaiya respectively, are set to reprise their roles in Mirzapur: The Movie. The film continues the dynamic between the two characters that audiences have followed through the series.

The trailer launch gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from the movie, with Banerjee's comments adding depth to the relationship between the two characters. His statement suggests that Compounder's devotion to Munna Bhaiya remains a central theme in the film.
Our Take: A promise of loyalty that fans will watch closely
To put it plainly, Banerjee's words do more than just describe his character — they set an expectation. The reference to Ravi Kishan's earlier dialogue is a smart nod to longtime viewers, connecting the movie to the franchise's history.
What stands out is how Banerjee frames loyalty in the brutal world of Mirzapur. In a place where everyone wants to kill each other, he points to characters who would die for someone. That contrast is what makes the Compounder-Munna Bhaiya bond worth watching.
For fans, the question now is simple: will that loyalty hold when the movie tests it? Banerjee's confidence suggests it will, but Mirzapur has never been kind to easy answers.
