Anil Kapoor Is Back With 24 and This Time It Will Be Jhakaas

Anil Kapoor will be back as Jai Singh Rathod in season two of 24

Anil Kapoor is back as ATU Chief Jai Singh Rathod in the second season of 24. The actor who seemed visibly excited at the poster launch held in Mumbai on Tuesday evening said,

When we decided to adapt 24 for Indian viewers through a local production, little did we know that it would change television consumption patterns, paving the path for newer viewership trends across the industry. The tight narrative and gripping storyline has made the show stand out among contemporaries with the question ‘when will Season 2 start?’ on everyone’s mind.

With 24, Colors brings back the same team that was behind the first season. Kapoor added,

As production begins, we would like to welcome Abhinay Deo and Rensil D’Souza back as directors. Their contribution made Season 1 a success and, together, we hope to surpass previously set benchmarks with Season 2

At a time when Indian GEC’s were packed with Saas Bahu soaps and game shows during prime time, Kapoor experimented with the Indian version of the popular international thriller drama 24, which was well received by the Indian audience.

Season 1 of 24 was a game-changer on Indian television, and as we enter the production phase for Season 2, we are looking forward to raise the bar creating unparalleled entertainment avenues for the viewers

Season 2 of 24 promises to have a lot more thrills than the earlier season. Jai Singh Rathod will also have an emotional upheaval to deal with along with the complicated cases that he has to solve fighting against all odds in the line of duty for over 24 hours.

The shoot will take place over 200 days, so Kapoor and team will be busy putting 24 together till mid-next year. There were rumors that Urmila Matondkar and Tabu were approached to play Anil Kapoor’s wife in the new season but the makers denied this at the launch.
