Raktanchal 2 preview: All you need to know about Nikitin Dheer-Kranti Prakash’s series

Raktanchal is back with season 2. With that, Nikitin Dheer will return as Waseem Khan and more importantly, Kranti Prakash is going to be seen as Vijay Singh all over again. That’s right. Vijay Singh is very much alive and kicking ass in the season 2. Here’s all you need to know about the show…

Raktanchal 2 brings in a new star cast with the old ones still taking the lead

Of course, Nikitin is still the ruthless Waseem Khan and Kranti is still the man who kills only the wrong, Vijay. However, a new cast has come on board for season 2. Ashish Vidyarthi is likely to be seen in the role of an education minister. Mahie Gill is seen in the role of a politician in power, most likely the CM. Karan Patel plays the role of a cop. The colourful character Sanki Pandey (Vikram Kocchar) also re-appears, this time gelling into the theme of the show – politics.

What was Raktanchal all about and how is season 2 different?

Raktanchal was still setting the base for the characters in Purvanchal. Waseem Khan and Vijay Singh were in the focus back then. This time, Vijay has a different story going on and he is waiting to merge his life with Waseem’s at the right opportunity. Waseem, on the other hand, has joined politics and aims to be the CM of Purvanchal.

Any change in old characters?

Except Vijay Singh becoming nearly invincible? Not much. Waseem Khan is still arrogant and too proud about how he can get everything he demands for. Sanki is still a very smart and colourful character who is looked down by people. Although his love angle is unlikely again, he sure promises some fun this time too.

Female characters could overpower the male…

Ronjini Chakraborty’s Seema played a huge part in the first season and there is a female who shows promise in season 2 as well. That woman is Mahie Gill. Her scene with Sanki, especially, proves that she could have a lot to offer in the series.

The hint season 1 gave about Vijay Singh.

Raktanchal season 1 already hinted that Vijay Singh is alive. It also spoke about him starting a new chapter. Thus, Vijay could be the dark knight in season 2. He could be a character who works behind-the-scenes and when the real show begins, he would steal the limelight. Of course, Nikitin’s Waseem Khan won’t make that easy for him.

Who else is a part of Raktanchal season 2?

Apart from the abovementioned names, Soundarya Sharma, Basu Soni, Krishna Bisht and Chitranjan Tripathy will be seen in pivotal roles. They play the roles of Roli, Chhunnu, Katta (sided with Vijay) and Bechan (Vijay’s family member) respectively.

When and where can you watch the series?

Raktanchal is an MX Player exclusive. The second season will also start streaming on the platform. It will be available from February 11.
