Is Dibyendu Bhattacharya A Part Of Mirzapur The Film? Chakda Xpress Actor Reveals
Last Updated: Dibyendu Bhattacharya, known for Mirzapur 2 and Jamtara, told News18 Showsha whether he's a part of Mirzapur The Film. Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya, widely loved for his impactful roles in series like Mirzapur 2 and Jamtara, opened up in a candid conversation about his career trajectory. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, the actor revealed whether he is a part of Mirzapur The Film, how actors seek validation through their work, and his deep desire to explore out-and-out commercial comedy on screen. When asked if he'd be a part of the upcoming Mirzapur movie adaptation starring Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu, and Ali Fazal, Dibyendu Bhattacharya confirmed his character is no longer part of the storyline. But would he consider a role in Mirzapur The Film if offered? He replied, ' [Spoiler alert] Yes, I was part of Mirzapur, but my character died in the show. I'd love to be a part of the movie, but nobody has spoken to me about it yet. So I guess that means I'm not in it," he said with a smile, making it clear the doors are open should the opportunity arise. Dibyendu reflects on not featuring in film/series posters Dibyendu has been a part of the film industry for over two decades now. Along the way, he has played pivotal characters, finally establishing his name in the film industry with projects such as Anushka Sharma's Chakda Xpress and YRF's Alpha starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Despite playing significant roles, he doesn't always make it to the poster. We asked Dibyendu if it ever bothers him. 'We actors — what do we do? We play with feelings and emotions, so we're emotional too. We're human. So yes, of course, we feel bad sometimes. A little importance would've been nice, right? It's not like I came from nowhere. If they include me in the teaser or trailer, it feels good," he reflected. 'For actors, money and fame are byproducts. What truly keeps us going is a little validation — a compliment from someone, a message in the morning that says, 'You made my day with your performance.' That's what makes our day. We're vulnerable like that," he added. Dibyendu is manifesting a full-blown comedy role When the conversation turned to genres, Dibyendu Bhattacharya expressed his enthusiasm about doing comedy, especially something in the tone of cult classics like Hera Pheri. 'Absolutely", he exclaimed, adding, 'Comedy is in my roots." 'I've won Best Actor awards before I even joined the National School of Drama – and it was for a comedy play! I used to walk on stage and for 90 minutes I had only one job: to make people laugh," he said. The Poachers actor then fondly recalled an incident from his NSD repertory days, when his comedic flair on stage once disrupted an entire scene because the audience couldn't stop watching him despite the main characters delivering their dialogue. 'There was a play where my antics kept stealing the spotlight—even when others had dialogues. The director scolded me at first, saying, 'You can't do this. People get distracted. They miss the actual lines.' But eventually, he came around. He whispered to me, 'I know you'll do what you want anyway. Just don't ruin it,'" Divyenndu laughed. He also revealed that he did a completely comedic role in an Amazon show titled Main Monica – a project that, despite having little to no promotion, gave him a chance to flex his comedy chops. While fans love his intense, layered characters, Divyenndu is manifesting more opportunities in full-blown commercial comedy. 'Those who have seen me on stage know I've done hard-core comedy in theatre. Cinema just hasn't given me that chance yet," he said, leaving the door wide open for filmmakers looking for a sharp comic actor in the industry. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 14:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
