The overwhelming love and support we received for season 1 from both the audience and critics alike has been immensely encouraging, and we hope to receive more love and support for season 2. This time, we’ve raised the bar, and the positive response to the teaser of Taaza Khabar 2 from all quarters reaffirms that we’re headed in the right direction.

The team is like family and we share a great camaraderie. Shriya, Prathmesh, Deven ji, all of us were super excited and enthusiastic about shooting this season. I remember when we launched Season 1, I never imagined it would become such a big fan favourite , especially my character Vasant. Now, with Season 2 on the horizon, we’re delving deeper into Vasant’s life, and I can’t wait to see how audiences react. A big thank you to all my fans for making Season 1 such a success and embracing ‘Vasya’ as their own. I hope audiences enjoy the new season.”
