In a surprising revelation, Divyenndu, the actor who brought the iconic character Munna Bhaiya to life in the hit series Mirzapur, has expressed a long-held desire to star in a horror film as a vampire.

Divyenndu’s portrayal of Munna Bhaiya in Mirzapur has left an indelible mark on his fans, making it hard to imagine him in any other role. However, the actor recently opened up about his aspirations in an interview with PTI, stating, "It has always been my lifelong dream to star in a horror film and play a vampire."

He shared that the essence of acting for him lies in embracing diverse roles and genres without fearing failure or public perception. An alumnus of the Film and Television Institute of India, Divyenndu first gained recognition with his breakout role in the comedy Pyaar Ka Punchnama.
