Aftab Shivdasani & Raai Lakshmi scorch the first poster of Poison 2

One of the leading streaming media giants, ZEE5, is back with yet another intense story of love, betrayal and revenge, titled Poison 2. As the title aptly suggests, Poison 2 is the second season of its hugely successful original series Poison. While the previous season had Arbaaz Khan, Tarun Virwani, Riya Sen, Freddy Daruwala and Sakshi Pradhan in central characters, season 2 stars Aftab Shivdasani and Raai Lakshmi in lead roles.

Today, the makers dropped the first poster of the much-awaited series, which set the internet on fire with the sizzling chemistry that the lead pair shares. If the first poster is anything to go by, the series is set to grab a lot of eyeballs upon its premiere in April.

As mentioned before, Aftab Shivdasani and Raai Lakshmi play the lead in the second season of the popular OTT show. The interesting fact is that both of them are making their digital debut with the series. The makers took to social media and shared the first poster with the caption, "Revenge can be sweet, but did you know it could be this sizzling! Poison 2 premieres 30th April on ZEE5."

The series has been directed by Vishal Pandya, who has previously helmed such successful erotic thrillers as Hate Story 2 (2014), Hate Story 3 (2015), Wajah Tum Ho (2016) and Hate Story 4 (2018). It is produced by Suzanna Ghai of Panorama Entertainment.

Poison 2 is a thriller which promises to be as engaging and interesting as Season 1. The latest season boasts of a completely new plot and storyline but has revenge at the centre of it. Poison 2 will mark the digital debut of Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani. He plays the lead protagonist in the series. Joining him will be South sensation Raai Lakshmi, Pooja Chopra, Gautam Gulati and Taher Shabbir.

Poison 2 is scheduled for its premiere exclusively on ZEE5 on 30th April.

Anurag Kashyap on 'Dhurandhar': "Ignored the propaganda dialogues and loved the filmmaking"

Highlights

  • Anurag Kashyap calls Dhurandhar a “significant” and “brilliant” film despite disagreeing with parts of its politics
  • Says he ignored what he viewed as propaganda lines and concentrated on the filmmaking
  • Compares the film to Hollywood war dramas often criticised for political messaging

Kashyap’s review singles out craft over ideology

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has added his voice to the praise for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, saying he admired the film even though he did not agree with all of its political messaging. Writing on Letterboxd, Kashyap said he chose to look past what he felt were a couple of propaganda-heavy moments and instead focus on the quality of the filmmaking.

He noted that hostility towards an enemy state is often built into the genre itself, adding that he had no issue with that aspect. However, he pointed to two specific dialogues that troubled him, saying that setting them aside allowed the film to work strongly on its own terms. He described Dhurandhar as a good, and ultimately brilliant, film largely set in Pakistan.
