We know he will. And we know it will be bloody.

Sharad (Anjum Sharma), the son of the late Rati Shankar Shukla, is playing a long, quiet game. Unlike Munna, Sharad is intellectual and patient. He shaves his head as a vow of revenge against the Tripathis for his father's death, setting himself up as a dangerous third variable in this war. The Broken Families

We are introduced to Dadda Tyagi (Lilliput), a powerful figure running a parallel criminal empire in Bihar dealing in stolen cars and contraband. This introduces his twin sons, Bharat and Shatrughan (both played by Vijay Varma), who will inevitably cross paths with the refugees from Mirzapur. Mirzapur Season 2 - Episode 1

The cliffhanger left us with Guddu holding a gun to Munna’s head.
