Sacred Games, being the first Netflix original series in India, based on the novel of the same title penned by Vikram Chandra, roared like a lion with generally positive reviews from all around the globe, it holds a certified fresh rating of 90% on rotten tomatoes.

Season 1 uncovers the first quarter of the 1000 page novel. The last episode of the series ends with Sartaj Singh locating Trivedi tied up to a chair in an underground secret room in the same building where Ganesh Gaitonde took away his own life. Whether Trivedi is alive or dead is still a big mystery. I’m very much looking forward to witnessing the relationship between Ganesh Gaitonde and Guruji.

So far Netflix has given away only a 58-sec teaser of the 2nd Season and another video of Gaitonde and Bunty conversing about a Russian Don, Felix while keeping the fans in the dark about further details including the release date.

FILMING

Sadly, Vikramaditya Motwane will not be directing the 2nd season and has been replaced by Neeraj Ghaywan while Anurag Kashyap will continue to direct.

Filming in Nairobi, Kenya with Nawazuddin and Mumbai with Saif Ali Khan began in November 2018. Ghaywan will be directing the Mumbai portion. It was shot in a 50-day schedule.

Guruji will cover a major portion being the villain of the season. In a recent interview with Mid-day, Pankaj Tripathi said:

“Guruji is a larger-than-life part and will become the most sought-after character in the series. My character becomes as big as Gaitonde.”



Season 2 will cover the next quarter of the Novel which will bring in some new characters. The release date has not been revealed yet. So keep waiting!!
