Sushmita Sen has started shooting for the second season of her successful streaming show Aarya (2020). The actress, who announced the second season earlier this week, gave the first clap of the mahurat shot.


Aarya premiered on Disney+ Hotstar in 2020 and received overwhelming response from critics and audiences alike. Sen, who made her digital debut with the series, was praised for her powerful performance in it. She recently even won the Best Actress (Web-series) award at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2021.

Aarya also marked Sen’s return to acting after several years. Filmmaker Ram Madhvani also forayed into the digital space with the series. Chandrachur Singh, Namit Das, and Sikander Kher rounded out the cast.

After the great success of Aarya, Sen and Madhavi have joined forces again for Aarya 2. On the official Twitter handle of Ram Madhvani Films, the makers shared a video, which featured the director and Sushmita commencing the shoot.

While not much else is known about the plotline of Aarya 2, a source earlier told an Indian publication that the makers were always psyched up about taking the story ahead with a new installment.

“The idea was to continue Aarya’s story and how she deals with newer challenges while fighting her own family. The team had been prepping up for the new season for a long time, and it is set to go on floors soon. The show would mostly launch sometime later this year,” the source told.

The actor shared her acceptance speech video on her Instagram profile. “Of the many things I have learned over the years as an actor and a person is that everything we do in our lives needs teamwork. This moment, this honour is also a result of teamwork,” the actor said in the video.

Ajith's Vidaamuyarchi: Reviewers call movie a mixed bag of thrills and missed opportunities

Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi, directed by Magizh Thirumeni, has sparked a mixed bag of contrasting reactions since hitting theatres. The film attempts to fuse the nerve-wracking tension of Hollywood thrillers with the high-energy appeal of Tamil cinema, resulting in what can be called a cinematic cocktail that’s as intriguing as it is polarising. While many viewers praise its departure from formulaic storytelling, others find its execution uneven and even overly ambitious.



The praise
Many reviewers have applauded Vidaamuyarchi for breaking away from the typical “mass hero” template that we saw in Ajith’s recent films like Valimai and Thunivu. Gone are the days of over-the-top family sentiments, forced comedy, and preachy dialogues. Vidaamuyarchi opts for a slower, more atmospheric narrative, drawing comparisons to Western thrillers. The deliberate pacing, though again divisive, has been commended for its ability to build tension and offer a refreshing change from the usual high-octane Tamil blockbusters.
