Season 2 has Gaitonde taking his business international. “See, the way he talks, the way he walks, remains the same, it’s the change in circumstances that brings about a change in any man’s internal state of affairs. It seemed unbelievable to me, but when we finally went abroad, it hit me that we’re actually filming this series internationally," says @nawazuddin._siddiqui, recalling the sheer scale of the production. #SacredGames2

With expectations running high for Sartaj, Saif remarks that his character faces a lot of additional issues along with the weight of saving the world this season. “Season 1 was a setup, which deals more with the inner workings of his mind, personality and background. In Season 2, there’s a lot of tension and action. It’s got a few daddy issues as well, which is the reason Sartaj gets sucked into it.” #SacredGames2

Who better to play the intriguing Guruji than Pankaj Tripathi? His elusiveness set the stage for the new season and we finally get to see him perform. Speaking about the psyche of his character in Season 2, he says, "Guruji is that tsunami whose impact is hard to gauge from its origin. You’ll have to watch the entire season twice to understand every move he makes.” #SacredGames2

The second part of the series will pick up from the nailbiting climax of Season 1. Saif Ali Khan who plays Sartaj Singh embarks on a journey of self-discovery and tries to save Mumbai from a massacre. Pankaj Tripathi who was seen as Guruji in the first part is playing a larger than life part in the new season. He is apparently holding the key to save Mumbai.

Sacred Games is based on the book of the same name by Vikram Chandra. The series is written by an excellent team of writers including Varun Grover. The series is being directed by Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Ghaywan. Vikramaditya Motwane serves as the showrunner.

‘Sacred Games’ will air from August 15, 2019, on NetFlix.
