Jennifer Winget talks about Beyhadh 2

After the huge success of Beyhadh, Sony Entertainment Television is coming up with the second season of the popular thriller series. Promos of Beyhadh 2 have piqued the curiosity level of the audience and now everyone is looking forward to the grand premiere of the show on 2nd December, 2019.

From the original cast, Jennifer Winget is the only artist to have been retained, while Ashish Chowdhury and Shivin Narang have come onboard as new entrants. Winget will reprise her popular character of Maya once again. But this time around, Maya is going to be more dangerous and revengeful.


Talking about the new season and her character in it, Jennifer Winget revealed to an entertainment portal that she is more than happy to have taken up this role since it is very rare for women to get such opportunities.

"We have established the character pretty well now and we did not want it to be repetitive. So, this time, the concentration is more on the story than the character. We have taken traits of Maya from the previous season and taken the thought of her and weaved it into a new story with an agenda. So last time, it was all about her obsession with love, this time it is revenge. So, the obsession part is the same, but the reason for it is different. And when that changes, automatically the way she reacts to things changes. We are aware of the fact that there will be comparisons, so, it is a very thin line we are treading on,” said Jennifer Winget.

Is Jennifer obsessed about anything in real life? "I am not an obsessive person. I am a very caring person. I care about people around me, things in my life. I don't think I am obsessed,” the actress signed off.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
