The trailer of Bhuvan Bam’s Taaza Khabar Season 2 was unveiled by the makers on Wednesday. Directed by Himank Gaur, the series also stars Shriya Pilgaonkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Jaaved Jaaferi, Deven Bhojani, Shilpa Shukla, Prathmesh Parab, and Nitya Mathur in pivotal roles.
The trailer gives a glimpse into the gritty undercurrents of the show where Bhuvan returns to play Vasant Gawde as he strives to escape a life of poverty. Along with his friends, he gets entangled in a web of crime and is met with the antagonistic force of the character played by Jaaved. Vasant loses his power which he got in Season 1 where he could see the future and predict things.
Speaking about the show, Bhuvan said in a press release, “Shooting season 2 has been emotionally challenging and I could see myself in Vasya’s eyes and his journey to balance all that is happening around him. My character graph grows this season and embarks upon a journey of redemptions and realizations. Moreover, I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the iconic Jaaved Jaaferi this time and learnt a lot from him.”
Jaaved added in his statement, “When I was offered Taaza Khabar S2, I was excited about playing the antagonist. Yusuf is layered, powerful and has a fierce demeanor, which is unlike any role I have essayed in the past. It has been incredible to collaborate with an influential, hardworking and young force like Bhuvan Bam, who is passionate and determined at all times. Taaza Khabar has been a creatively satisfying experience for me and audiences are in for a treat with Vasya and Yusuf’s ultimate showdown.”
Shriya Pilgaonkar spoke of her character and said, “Madhu’s character in Taaza Khabar is very special to me and I’m so grateful for the love. She embodies spunk and strength. In season 1 we see her transition from her life as a sex worker but eventually she loses everything. In season 2, she is back again to reclaim what is hers. As the story progresses, audiences will see her relationship mature with Vasya.”
Director Himank Gaur said, “With Taaza Khabar, I have always tried to depict the harsh realities of life and showcase a relationship between the protagonist, his powers and how it alters the course of his journey. Season 1 was widely appreciated by fans and is a story that audiences deeply resonated with because it was a story from rags to riches. With Season 2, Vasya is seen in his true sense, raw, authentic and real on his emotions. Each character will see a shift in their graph and with Jaaved Jaaferi, the entire dynamics is set to change. This season promises to be a powerful and emotional ride and we hope audiences enjoy it.”
Produced by Rohit Raj and Bhuvan Bam, Taaza Khabar Season 2 will be available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar on September 27.
