Ravi Kishan, who plays Babban Yadav in the much-awaited Mirzapur: The Movie, has promised fans that the "nation will go berserk" when the film hits theatres on September 4. The actor shared a video on his social media talking about the film's release, adding to the already massive excitement surrounding the project.
Mirzapur: The Movie marks a historic moment for Indian cinema — it is the first time the iconic world of Mirzapur will be seen on the big screen. The film is produced by Excel Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios, and it has been one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema ever since its announcement.
Ravi Kishan's Bold Promise for Mirzapur: The Movie Release
In his social media video, Ravi Kishan spoke directly to fans about what they can expect. According to Bollywood Hungama, the actor was seen talking about how the trailer is just the beginning of what the film has in store. He promised explosive entertainment with the film's release, making it clear that the full movie will deliver far more than what the trailer has shown so far.
The excitement around the film has been building steadily. The recently released teaser and trailer have only amplified the anticipation among fans, who have been waiting to see their favourite characters from the OTT series make the leap to the big screen.
What Makes Mirzapur: The Movie a Historic Theatrical Leap
This release is not just another Bollywood film — it represents a major shift in how Indian audiences consume entertainment. Mirzapur started as one of India's biggest OTT franchises, building a massive fan following through its streaming seasons. Now, with Mirzapur: The Movie, that franchise is making its theatrical debut.
The move signals confidence from the production houses — Excel Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios — in bringing a beloved digital property to the traditional cinema experience. For fans of the series, this means seeing the gritty, violent world of Mirzapur on the biggest possible screen.

Our Take: Why This Release Matters for Indian Cinema
To put it plainly, this is a big deal. When an OTT franchise of Mirzapur's scale makes the jump to theatres, it tests whether digital-first content can draw crowds to cinemas. The success or failure of this film could shape how other streaming platforms approach theatrical releases for their popular shows.
Ravi Kishan's confidence is understandable — the franchise has a loyal fan base that has been waiting for this moment. But the real question is whether that fan base will show up in theatres on September 4 in large enough numbers. If they do, it could open the door for more OTT-to-theatre transitions in the future.
For now, the promise is clear: explosive entertainment, a beloved cast, and a world that fans already know and love — now on the big screen. Whether the nation truly goes berserk remains to be seen, but the stage is set for a significant moment in Indian cinema.
