Arshad Warsi joins the sets of Asur 2

The year 2020 saw the premiere of some great digital shows on various streaming media platforms. One such show, which managed to catch viewers’ fancy, was Voot Select’s Asur featuring Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Ridhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka and Sharib Hashmi in important roles.

After the runaway success of Season 1, Voot Select has now begun production on Asur 2. Oni Sen is calling the shots and the team is looking at wrapping up the first shooting schedule soon. They are currently shooting in Delhi and will next shoot in Manali and Varanasi.


Actor Arshad Warsi, who returns as Dhananjay Singh, says, “I am overjoyed to start shooting again. As far as my career goes, Asur is one of the best things that has happened to me. It was my digital debut and with season 1 being a huge hit, I am very excited to see how people will respond to our new season. As we start shooting again, the entire team is motivated and is working extremely hard to take season 2 to the next level. When you have a successful first season, there is always a sense of pressure and nervousness. But that is the best kind of pressure, which keeps you motivated to deliver better and bring out the best in all of us.”

Barun Sobti, who reprises his role as Nikhil Nair, is psyched up about Asur 2. “Yes, we are back with a high-octane second season and are working extremely hard, as we know the mammoth importance of following up a hit season with a better one. We understand that the audience is anticipating a great show and the whole team is mentally and physically aligned to the goal. Honestly, I am excited to work on the show but even more excited to see how we fare,” he adds.

  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
