The video opens with Pankaj, who can be heard saying, "Everyone knows the importance of the throne. So far you have watched Mirzapur sitting on your own throne. But this time if you don't get up from your throne, it'll be a big risk." In the next frame, Ali Fazal seconds Pankaj and says, "Kaleen Bhaiya is absolutely right. Mirzapur won't come to you anymore... You will have to come to Mirzapur. Divyendu, who is shown watching Ali on a TV, enters the frame with a gun and calls himself a hero of the Hindi film. "I'm immortal and now the throne of Mirzapur will be ruled from right here (theatre). The video ends with Pankaj, Divyendu and Ali entering the same frame."
