Working with Apoorva Lakhia and this team is always a wonderful experience; Can't wait."

Helmed by Apoorva Lakhia, the first season saw how Riyaz Pathan (Saqib Salem) and his team thwart the plans of Tariq (Ankur Bhatia), a Major with the ISI who challenges Indian agents and is always making plans to harm the country.

With an ensemble cast such as Iqbal Khan, Waluscha DeSouza, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Rajesh Tailang, the show witnessed these actors in prominent and interesting character portrayals.

Lakhia shared: "I was really happy with the way the viewers and the critics liked the first season and with the second season we are making it grander with more action and thrills. I am also very excited to reunite with the cast and crew from Season one and with the new additions like Freddy Daruwala, Sonali Kulkarni and Rashmi Agdekar, the second season is slated to be top-notch.
