She (Season 2) trailer: Aditi Pohankar goes undercover for one last task

Aditi Pohankar returns to take on more risks as she is asked to go undercover for one last task in order to take down Nayak, the drug kingpin, in writer Imtiaz Ali’s She (Season 2).

Pohankar plays constable Bhumika Pardeshi aka Bhumi who has to masquerade as a sex worker to uncover the dark secrets of Mumbai’s underbelly. In the first season, the meek Bhumi found her confidence as well as her sexuality by going undercover.

In this new season, her dual lives are put to the test as she adheres to her duty to the police force and acts upon her growing attraction toward Nayak. Worryingly, both sides grow suspicious about her motives. Which way will her loyalties lie?

Written and created by Imtiaz Ali, She (Season 2) is directed by Arif Ali and produced by Viacom18 Studios’ Tipping Point and Window Seat Films.

Writer-showrunner Imtiaz Ali shared, “She, in the second season, remains a deeply personal story even as it catapults to a higher-octane drama. As She gets comfortable in the role of a seductress, She also begins to get seduced by the charm of darkness. The thrill quotient is up, the canvas is wider and the treatment more persuasive as Bhumi struggles to decide the secrets she really wants to keep.”

Director Arif Ali added, “In the second season, Bhumi has to constantly walk a tightrope not knowing on which landmine her next step will fall. With death and disaster at every turn, Bhumi’s only chance at survival is a metamorphosis. A transformed Bhumi takes up the reins, constantly making life-changing decisions at the cost of trust and duty, such that while she is under threat, no one around her is safe either. The thrill aspect has been built out further with multiple characters and their complexities at odds with Bhumi’s promising a riveting binge viewing of season 2.”

The seven-episode crime drama series also stars Kishore Kumar G, Vishwas Kini, Shivani Rangole, Sam Mohan and Suhita Thatte.

She (Season 2) is due to be premiered on Netflix on 17 June.
