Zain Imam to pair opposite Jennifer Winget in Beyhadh 2?

Zain Imam is one of the most popular actors on Indian television. He has been part of several successful shows in the past. The actor is currently seen in Star Plus’ Ek Bhram Sarvagun Sampanna, which hit the small screen a couple of months ago.

The show was launched with much fanfare. However, it failed to grab the audiences’ attention. Despite the makers trying everything to improve TRP, it could not draw the audience, and now we hear that the channel is set to axe it soon.


With Ek Bhram Sarvagun Sampanna ready to wrap up in coming few days, Zain Imam is rumoured to have bagged yet another soap. According to reports, the handsome actor has been roped in to star opposite Jennifer Winget in Sony Entertainment Television’s thriller series Beyhadh 2.

As the title aptly suggests, the upcoming show is a sequel to the hugely popular series Beyhadh which starred Jennifer Winget, Kushal Tandon and Aneri Vijan in important roles. Season 2 is expected to go on air towards the end of the year.

“The storyline of the second season is quite interesting. Jennifer will fall in love with a much older guy with children, but he will dump her eventually. She will return to take revenge with him by falling in love with his son. While Viraf Patel is being considered to play the father, we have approached Zain to portray the son. We are expecting the deal to materialise soon and have him on board. It’s a positive character and he will play a suave and innocent guy from an industrialist family,” a publication reports a source as saying.

More details are awaited.

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.
