highlights

equations
are
about

change
as

power-hungry
adversaries
set

eyes
on
becoming
the

Ramanand
Rai,
a
senior
politician,
has
powerful
competition
from
Waseem
Khan
who
was
one
of
the
big
tender
mafias
of
Purvanchal
and
has
now
entered
active
politics,
while
Sarawasti
Devi
-
a
sole
woman
representative
of
the
state
also
wants
to
stake
claim
to
the
coveted
CM
chair.
Suddenly,
one
day,
the
media
announces
Vijay
Singh
is
alive
which
throws
everyone's
plans
off
track.
Commenting
on
his
journey,
Nikitin
Dheer
says,
"Playing
Waseem
has
always
been
difficult.
This
character
is
very
complex
and
has
multiple
emotions
running
high
at
each
turn
which
is
what
compelled
me
to
take
this
role.
From
learning
dialects
of
UP
to
dressing
the
part
as
a
politician,
I
have
given
this
character
my
best
shot.
I
only
hope
that
the
audience
appreciates
my
role
as
much
as
they
did
in
the
first
season."
Talking
about
Raktanchal
2,
Kranti
Prakash
Jha
said,
"I
am
really
excited
for
the
second
season
of
Raktanchal.
After
ending
season
1
on
a
cliffhanger,
Vijay's
comeback
is
much
awaited
and
this
time
round
-
rajneeti
banayega
Purvanchal
ko
Raktanchal.
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
audience
reaction
to
the
trailer."
Mahie
Gill
on
being
a
part
of
Raktanchal
2
said,
"Proud,
and
defiant,
Saraswati
Devi
is
an
enigma
who
is
taking
this
male-dominated
world
by
storm.
After
playing
such
a
powerful
character
on
screen,
inspired
by
real-life
instances
from
the
early
90s,
I
realized
what
it
takes
to
be
a
woman
in
Indian
politics."
Talking
about
his
experience,
Ashish
Vidyarthi
said,
"We
have
created
an
exciting
political
drama
for
our
audience
that
unfolds
the
murky
world
of
politics,
and
I
hope
they
shower
us
with
the
same
love
and
support
as
they
did
during
Raktanchal
season
1."
