At the recent JioHotstar South Unbound event, a host of titles from the south languages were announced. Amongst them, a glimpse of the second season of 1000 Babies, was shown. Starring Rahman and Neena Gupta, the first season of the crime thriller premiered in 2024 on JioHotstar.
Rahman, who reprises his role for the second season, said, "It was a great experience working on 1000 Babies. When the makers narrated the script to me, I was very excited, but I didn’t know it was for a web series. As they continued narrating the story for hours, I wondered how such a long story could be made into a movie. That’s when they explained that it was actually a web series."
He added, "I didn’t want to let go of this project. Although I had another project in Tamil, I chose this one because the subject was more gripping. It has content I haven’t seen even on the international screen. Also, it’s not mere fiction, but an adaptation of a real story."
CE's review of the first season read, "What begins as a character drama with a spooky vibe quickly escalates into a murder mystery with psychological underpinnings. The show engagingly delves into Bibin’s psyche, showing how the weight of his past and Sara’s actions shape his sense of identity and justice. Sanju delivers an impressive performance, depicting Bibin’s slow transformation from a quiet, resigned son to a methodical, cold-blooded figure of retribution."
