If there is one series that the whole world is waiting for to binge-watch, it has to be the second season of the highly popular Netflix original Sacred Games (2018). With anticipation surrounding Sacred Games 2 on an all-time high ahead of its grand premiere in the month of August, Netflix India has just unveiled an exclusive photo of the entire cast of the thriller where all the actors can be seen donning retro looks.
Sacred Games 2 stars Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Kalki Koechlin, Pankaj Tripathi, Ranvir Shorey, Surveen Chawla, Luke Kenny and Jatin Sarna in crucial roles. Most of these actors also played important characters in the first season of the series. Their latest picture shared by Netflix India showcases them in an all-new retro, edgy, and stylish look. It sheds light on the metamorphosis of the actors’ gritty on-screen personas into their ultra-glam, uber chic avatars.
The shoot was co-styled by celebrity stylists Tanya Ghavri and Mohit Rai. It focused on creating the essence of the ’70s Mumbai. Veering away from the characters’ looks, but still staying true to the show’s backdrop, the stylists opted for a combination of suits, sneakers, sweaters, and jeans in floral geometric patterns.
Sacred Games 2 is set to start streaming on Thursday 15th August on Netflix.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
