MX Player‘s much-awaited Raktanchal Season 2 is coming. The streaming platform dropped the trailer for the gritty crime drama this afternoon, along with the release date for the series. All episodes of Raktanchal Season 2 stream on MX Player on 11th February.
The action in Raktanchal Season 2 shifts from blood-soaked battlegrounds to manipulation-tinged political arenas. Waseem Khan, the undisputed king of crime-infested Purvanchal, makes a bid for the Chief Minister’s position. Unbeknownst to him, though, one crucial character, who was presumed dead at the end of Season 1, is back to rain on his parade. We won’t spoil the suspense for those who’ve not watched Raktanchal Season 1 yet but plan to do so before Raktanchal Season 2 arrives.
MX Player’s ‘Raktanchal’ Season 2 has added a bevy of heavyweight actors in the cast for the new season. Ashish Vidhyarthi, Mahie Gill, Karan Patel and Mukesh Bhatt join Raktanchal Season 2 in interesting roles. Nikitin Dheer, Kranti Prakash Jha, Soundarya Sharma, Ronjini Chakraborty, Chittaranjan Tripathy, Pramod Pathak, Vikram Kochhar, Krishna Bisht and Basu Soni return to reprise their roles from Raktanchal Season 1.
Raktanchal is a crime drama set in the backdrop of Purvanchal, the gangster-infested Eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. The region was once notorious for spawning dreaded gangsters in every era of the last century. It includes the perilous areas of Mirzapur, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Gazipur and more. MX Player’s Raktanchal centres on two rival crime lords who will stop at nothing to gain the upper hand. Central to the plot is the notorious tender syndicate that makes money by snagging the tenders to the infrastructure development taking place in the region. They are also called the ‘tender mafia’ for that reason.
Raktanchal 2 is directed by Ritam Srivastav. He had also directed Raktanchal Season 1. The series is apparently based on real life events.
Raktanchal Season 2 premieres on MX Player on 11th February. Have a look at the trailer of the show here –
