Mona Singh to play cop in 'Kohrra' season 2 with Barun Sobti on Netflix

Netflix’s acclaimed crime drama Kohrra is returning for a second season, and its newest addition is none other than Mona Singh. Known for her wide-ranging roles across genres, Singh’s casting adds a fresh layer of intrigue to the moody, atmospheric series.

This will also be her first time playing a cop, a welcome shift from her recent comedic role in the horror flick Munjya. The teaser shows her in uniform, sharing the screen with Barun Sobti, and already hints at a character with grit and complexity. It’s a role that seems tailor-made for her brand of grounded intensity.

Singh’s recent choices have consistently veered into darker, more layered territory. From her performance in Kaala Paani to her memorable role in Made in Heaven 2, she’s leaned into characters that demand emotional range. Kohrra, with its slow-burn storytelling and rural noir setting, offers fertile ground for another such performance.

Adding Singh to the mix is also a clever narrative choice. The first season of Kohrra stood out for its quiet, restrained depiction of masculinity and justice. Introducing a strong female law enforcement officer could open up new dynamics and push the story into interesting moral grey zones.

This isn’t just a comeback to long-form content for Singh but also shows her ability to adapt and elevate. If her past thrillers are anything to go by, her entry into the Kohrra universe is likely to amplify both the emotional and suspenseful stakes of the show.

The release date for Kohrra season 2 hasn’t been announced yet, but Singh’s casting certainly ensures that there’s already something to look forward to.
