Mumbai, Jan 29

The makers of “Kohrra” on Thursday unveiled the trailer of the second season of the upcoming crime series. Actor Barun Sobti, who is reprising his role as Amarpal Garundi, said that his character this time is “more introspective, guarded, and constantly negotiating with his own choices.”

Barun Sobti, reprising the role of Amarpal Garundi, shares, "Garundi begins this season hoping to start afresh, but in a world like Kohrra, the past never quite lets go. The mystery this time is denser and more layered, and that complexity reflects in Garundi's own journey."

"He's more introspective, more guarded, and constantly negotiating with his own choices. Season 2 pushed me as an actor in new ways, and I'm excited for viewers to return to this world and experience how the story unfolds," Barun added.

The trailer unpacks the murder of a woman found dead in her brother's barn, a growing list of suspects including her own husband, and two officers determined to chase the truth to the end.

Assistant Sub-Inspector Amarpal Garundi begins anew in the second installment. This time far from his roots in Jagrana under a new commanding officer, Sub-Inspector Dhanwant Kaur. She's restrained, methodical, and firm where it matters, making her a striking contrast to Garundi's more casual, instinctive persona. Brawn and brain come together as they peel back the layers of this complicated case, even as it lays bare their own vulnerabilities.

Mona Singh, who'll be joining the cast as Dhanwant Kaur, shares, "Stepping into the world of Kohrra was both exciting and daunting because of how thoughtfully it is written. Dhanwant is a woman of few words, but immense resolve. She's navigating loss, responsibility, and the constant need to prove herself -- often without saying much at all."

"It's a role that demanded restraint, and I'm grateful to Sudip sir and the team for trusting me with it. I look forward to audiences experiencing her journey within the larger, quietly intense world of Kohrra."

A Film Squad Production in association with Act Three, Kohrra Season 2 is produced by Saurabh Malhotra, Sudip Sharma, Manuj Mittra, and Tina Tharwani. This season also marks Sudip Sharma's debut as director alongside Faisal Rahman. The show will premier from February 11.

Kohrra was a breath of fresh air in the Indian OTT space. So glad they're continuing with the same depth. The complexity of the mystery reflecting in the character's journey is exactly what makes these shows stand out. Sudip Sharma's team rarely disappoints.

Mona Singh joining the cast is fantastic news! She's such a versatile performer. A restrained, methodical female officer contrasting with Garundi's instinctive style... that's a dynamic I'm very excited to watch. Hope they do justice to her character's backstory.

Honestly, while I loved Season 1, I hope Season 2 doesn't get too slow or philosophical. The trailer hints at a great murder mystery, but sometimes these "introspective" journeys can drag the pacing. Fingers crossed they balance character depth with tight storytelling.

As someone who watches a lot of international crime dramas, Kohrra Season 1 truly held its own. The rural Punjab setting added such a unique texture. Excited to see the new location and how Garundi's character evolves away from his roots. The production quality looks top-notch.

Sudip Sharma directing this season is the biggest news for me! His writing in Paatal Lok and Season 1 was masterful. If he's bringing that same gritty, realistic vision to the director's chair, we are in for a treat. This team is creating a new benchmark for Indian thrillers.
