The much-awaited trailer of the Netflix show, Sacred Games season 2, is finally out and it promises to be an action-packed thriller going deeper into the mystery of the “save the city of Mumbai in 25 days” plot, which kickstarted the show.
At the end of the last season, we saw Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) being tortured in jail, and Khanna Guruji (Pankaj Tripathi) coming to his rescue. Now Gaitonde is out of jail, and the trailer for Sacred Games 2 gives us an exciting insight into how he gets involved with the cult of Guruji, who becomes his ‘teesra baap (third father)‘. So we will definitely get to see a lot more of Pankaj Tripathi this time around.
And in the current timeline inspector Sartaj Singh continues to investigate and unravel the story behind the statement or clue that says “its time for war”.
Several new characters enter the show this season. Kalki Koechlin, Luke Kennry and Ranvir Shorey being the prime entries. While Kalki seems to be associated with Guruji’s cult in some way, Ranvir seems to be involved in the investigation.
In season 2 Neeraj Ghaywan (director of Masaan) replaces Vikramaditya Motwane as director for Saif’s portions, while Anurag Kashyap continues to be director of Nawazuddin’s section.
Sacred Games is based on the 2006 novel by the same name, written by Vikram Chandra, and has been adapted by writers Varun Grover, Smita Singh and Vasant Nath for the screen.
The show is set to premiere on Netflix on 15 August.
