Sacred Games season 2 new video: Pankaj Tripathi’s Guruji holds the clues as Kalki Koechlin, Ranvir Shorey join show
In a new video, Kalki Koechlin and Ranvir Shorey’s characters are seen joining Sacred Games season 2 but the story clearly revolves around Pankaj Tripathi’s Guruji who eclipses even Saif Ali Khan’s Sartaj Singh and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Ganesh Gaitonde.
The makers of popular Netflix series Sacred Games have released a new video and it shows Kalki Koechlin and Ranvir Shorey will be part of the new season. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Ghaywan, the show stars Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.
Based on Vikram Chandra’s 2006 novel of the same name, Sacred Games follows the quest of cop Sartaj Singh (Saif) to save Mumbai from a possible nuclear attack after a warning by gangster Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin) before his death. Pankaj Tripathi, who played the small but important part of Guruji in the first season, seems to be at the heart of the new season.
Sacred Games season 2 will have Kalki as Batya, and Ranvir Shorey as Shahid Khan. According to an official release, “The brand-new season promises a new trail of friendship, betrayal, crime, passion, and a thrilling chase through Mumbai’s underbelly with these new characters.”
The video opens with the question: ‘Is khel ka baap kaun?’ It goes on to show Saif, Nawaz, Kalki, Ranbir and Pankaj in that sequence. While everyone else stands on the side of the frame with the thematic mandala design in the centre, Pankaj sits confidently in the centre, with the design of the mandala behind his head.
Talking about her association with the show, Kalki said, “Personally, I am a fan of the series, and it is super awesome to be a part of the Sacred Games and Netflix family. Season 2 promises to be much more exciting and I cannot wait for viewers to watch me in the series.”
“My character in Sacred Games 2, Shahid Khan, is a complete departure from any of the roles I’ve played before, and I’m looking forward to fans across the world bingeing on the new season. When Anurag is working with me, he is constantly pushing me to break my own boundaries. It comes from familiarity and my ability to go on a roller coaster with him. As an actor, I am someone who enjoys twirling myself up.,’’ Ranveer said.
