Jennifer Winget talks about Beyhadh 2

After the huge success of Beyhadh, Sony Entertainment Television is coming up with the second season of the popular thriller series. Promos of Beyhadh 2 have piqued the curiosity level of the audience and now everyone is looking forward to the grand premiere of the show on 2nd December, 2019.

From the original cast, Jennifer Winget is the only artist to have been retained, while Ashish Chowdhury and Shivin Narang have come onboard as new entrants. Winget will reprise her popular character of Maya once again. But this time around, Maya is going to be more dangerous and revengeful.


Talking about the new season and her character in it, Jennifer Winget revealed to an entertainment portal that she is more than happy to have taken up this role since it is very rare for women to get such opportunities.

"We have established the character pretty well now and we did not want it to be repetitive. So, this time, the concentration is more on the story than the character. We have taken traits of Maya from the previous season and taken the thought of her and weaved it into a new story with an agenda. So last time, it was all about her obsession with love, this time it is revenge. So, the obsession part is the same, but the reason for it is different. And when that changes, automatically the way she reacts to things changes. We are aware of the fact that there will be comparisons, so, it is a very thin line we are treading on,” said Jennifer Winget.

Is Jennifer obsessed about anything in real life? "I am not an obsessive person. I am a very caring person. I care about people around me, things in my life. I don't think I am obsessed,” the actress signed off.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
