Meanwhile, Pankaj's recent outing is ‘Mirzapur 3’. The web series created by Karan Anshuman and Puneet Krishna is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The ETimes review of the third season reads, “In that sense, the show remains blissfully untouched by any kind of political realism, at least in today’s times. However, what sets this season apart is the fact that there is a certain kind of method to the madness. Even as the pace falters initially, the story does reach a crescendo eventually leading to a shockingly unpredictable climax. Ultimately, with all its action-packed elements firmly in place, this latest season of Mirzapur is sure to leave you craving for more.”
