Farhan Akhtar, the versatile filmmaker and actor known for his successful ventures in both cinema and digital platforms, emphasized the pivotal role of writers in captivating audiences. At the trailer launch of Mirzapur Season 3, attended by the ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and others, Farhan acknowledged the critical importance of strong writing in today's competitive streaming landscape.
"When it comes to successful series," Farhan remarked, "it all starts with the writing. If the writing isn't compelling, nothing else will click. In this era where viewers have endless options, engaging writing is essential. Directors also play a crucial role in keeping audiences excited."

"Whether it's this show or our other projects, we've been fortunate to work with teams that understand today's audience," he added.
Excel Entertainment, under Farhan's stewardship, has delivered acclaimed series like Made In Heaven, Inside Edge, and Mirzapur for Prime Video. The eagerly anticipated third season of Mirzapur, directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer, and written by a talented team including Apurva Dhar Badgaiyan, Avinash Singh Tomar, and Vijay Narayan Verma, promises a gripping narrative as it explores the tumultuous transition in Mirzapur's power dynamics.
