Saqib Saleem’s Crackdown 2 goes before cameras

The second season of the successful espionage action-drama series Crackdown, starring Saqib Saleem in the lead role, hit the shooting floor in Jaisalmer on Tuesday.

Saqib Saleem, who reprises his character for the second season, said shooting for Crackdown has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of his career.

“Needless to say, I am super excited for the second season, but also nervous because the pressure is immense. The audience loved season one and we are trying our best to ensure that they feel the same about this season as well. We have upped the action in season two and combined it with a thrilling storyline. I am confident that the viewers will thoroughly enjoy the show,” the actor said in a statement.

The first season of the Voot Select Original also featured Iqbal Khan, Waluscha De Sousa, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Ankur Bhatia, and Rajesh Tailang, who will all be returning for season two.

Pilgaonkar said the new season is going to be “more thrilling”, backed by an engaging narrative. “It is good to be back in action mode. Working with Apoorva Lakhia and this team is always a wonderful experience,” she said.

Lakhia said the team is mounting Crackdown season two on a grand scale, with “more action and thrills”.

“I am also very excited to reunite with the cast and crew from season one and with the new additions like Freddy Daruwala, Sonali Kulkarni, and Rashmi Agdekar, the second season is slated to be top-notch," the director, known for films like Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007), Mission Istanbul (2008), and Haseena Parkar (2017).
