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.

‘I’m more than just Suriya’s wife’: Jyotika on fighting everyday sexism

Despite being one of the most successful actresses in Indian cinema, Jyotika still finds herself battling an issue that countless women faceeveryday, casual sexism! In a recent interview, she candidly shared how, even after decades in the industry, her identity is often reduced to being "Suriya’s wife" rather than a celebrated actor in her own right.

In an interview, Jyotika spoke about how these biases manifest in everyday situations. For instance, when she expresses gratitude for her marriage to Suriya, people often respond by praising him as a great person. However, when Suriya acknowledges her as a wonderful partner, the focus shifts to how kind he is for appreciating his wife. This double standard, she explained, is just one example of the casual sexism she encounters regularly. Even in mundane scenarios, like purchasing a car, she notices how people expect someone else, usually a man, to take charge of handling the features or making decisions.
