Starring Saqib Saleem, Aahana Kumra, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Ravi Kishan in principal roles, Rangbaaz turned out to be a runaway success for leading OTT platform ZEE5 upon its premiere on 22 December 2018.
After garnering widespread critical acclaim and commercial success for the first season of the crime thriller series, ZEE5 has now announced a new season of Rangbaaz which will have an entirely new storyline and cast. The makers have roped in Jimmy Sheirgill and Gul Panag to front the cast of the second season titled Rangbaaz Phirse.
Inspired by true events, Rangbaaz Phirse revolves around a young man who falls through the cracks because of politics and is robbed of his youth which subsequently ruins his life. The series tells the story of a misguided manipulative youth.
Rangbaaz Phirse will start streaming on ZEE5 on 20th December, almost a year after the first season took the entire nation by its grip. Aside from announcing the premiere date of the season two, the makers have also unveiled the first poster of the series.
In the first poster released by the makers, one can see a gangster’s pipe gun, bullets and a cowboy hat. If the first poster of Rangbaaz Phirse is anything to go by, the series is going to be a gripping watch for the audience.
Rangbaaz Phirse spreads across nine episodes. It is a fast-paced crime thriller that focuses on caste supremacy and political rivalry of a gangster. Apart from Jimmy Sheirgill and Gul Panag, the second season also features Zeeshan Ayyub, Sharad Kelkar, Spruha Joshi, Harsh Chhaya and Sushant Singh on its cast.
Rangbaaz Phirse has been written by screenwriter Siddharth Mishra, who also wrote Season 1. The series has been directed by Sachin Pathak for JAR Productions. It is scheduled to premiere on 20th December only on ZEE5.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
