Kumar
Exclusive:
After
a
short
wait,
Bindiya
Ke
Bahubali
is
back
with
its
new
season.
Bindiya
Ke
Bahubali
Season
2
episodes
are
now
officially
streaming
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
and
MX
Player.
This
time,
the
Bada
Davan
vs
Chhote
Davan
conflict
and
the
political
power
struggle
spiral
into
a
brutal
family
war.
With
Season
2,
director
Raj
Amit
Kumar
dives
into
a
darker,
more
intense
writing
mode,
keeping
fans
hooked
and
constantly
guessing
what’s
coming
next.
In
an
exclusive
conversation
with
Mimtaz
from
Filmibeat,
Bindiya
Ke
Bahubali
2
director
Raj
Amit
Kumar
reveals
whether
Season
3
is
on
the
cards.
He
spills
beans
on
future
plans,
fan
response,
and
what
lies
ahead
for
the
hit
series.
Here
are
excerpts
from
the
interview:
1)
Bindiya
Ke
Bahubali
Season
2
has
dropped
today
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
and
MX
Player,
and
the
scale
feels
much
bigger.
How
has
the
audience
response
been
so
far?
The
audience
response
has
been
good
so
far.
Season
1
had
a
pretty
large
viewership.
On
MX
Player
and
Prime
Video,
the
number
was
close
to
28
million,
and
it
was
a
pretty
large
viewership.
But
the
trailer
response
to
Bindiye
Ke
Bahubali
2
was
pretty
big.
2)
How
different
was
the
shooting
experience
of
Season
2
compared
to
Season
1?
They
were
kind
of
shot
around
the
same
time
and
it
was
one
long
go.
That
is
why
we
were
also
able
to
release
it
so
soon
after
Season
1.
It
was
a
great
singular
experience.
3)
The
show
boasts
a
powerhouse
cast
–
Ranvir
Shorey,
Saurabh
Shukla,
Seema
Biswas,
Sai
Tamhankar,
Tanishtha
Chatterjee,
Kranti
Prakash
Jha,
Dibyendu
Bhattacharya,
and
Sheeba
Chaddha.
With
such
strong
performers,
how
challenging
was
it
to
balance
so
many
powerful
characters
on
screen?
I
have
been
asked
this
question
many
times
about
how
challenging
it
is
to
work
with
these
giants
of
amazing
actors.
I
always
say
it’s
not
challenging,
it’s
actually
simpler
because
all
of
them
bring
such
talent
on
set
and
so
much
preparation
of
their
own
and
their
own
versions
of
how
they
should
be
playing
that
character,
which
is
very
invigorating
for
a
director.
So
it
was
not
challenging
for
me
in
terms
of
working
with
these
actors.
It
was
a
beautiful,
blissful,
amazing
experience.
4)
Which
actor
surprised
you
the
most
with
their
performance
in
Season
2?
You
know,
you
get
surprised
every
day.
I
don’t
know
how
to
ever
pinpoint
that
feeling.
Once
you
start
making
something,
it
truly
comes
to
life
for
the
first
time
when
the
actors
begin
performing.
And
no
matter
what
anyone
says,
when
it
does
come
to
life,
it’s
never
exactly
in
the
same
shape
or
form
that
you
may
have
imagined
or
thought
of.
So,
there’s
a
surprise
happening
every
day.
And
as
you
said,
there
are
so
many
great
actors-everyone
was
doing
something
magical
every
now
and
then.
It
was
a
surprise-filled
shoot
throughout,
in
many
ways.
5)
For
those
you
are
yet
to
watch
Bindiya
Ke
Bahubali
2
episodes,
how
different
is
season
2
from
the
first
part?
Season
1
was
the
setup
of
this
world.
For
me,
Bindiya
is
a
microcosm
of
India,
where
different
social
institutions
merge
into
an
absurdist
universe-that’s
what
I
attempted
to
create.
Season
1
was
about
establishing
this
world,
setting
up
the
relationships,
and
taking
the
story
to
a
point
from
where
it
could
explode.
Bindiya
Ke
Bahubali
Season
2
is
that
explosion;
it’s
one
big
burst
of
everything
coming
together.
You’ll
enjoy
the
explosion.
As
Ranvir
Shorey
says,
you’ll
enjoy
the
tequila
shots.
Season
1
was
the
salt,
and
this
is
the
tequila
shot.
5)
Now
that
Season
2
is
out,
fans
are
already
asking-is
Season
3
on
the
cards,
and
if
yes,
how
far
along
are
those
conversations?
For
Season
3,
all
the
audiences-and
people
like
you-should
start
making
calls
to
Amazon
and
MX
Player,
urging
them
to
get
Season
3
made
as
soon
as
possible.
It
took
me
five
years
to
make
Seasons
1
and
2.
During
those
five
years,
we
were
also
going
through
the
COVID
period,
with
all
kinds
of
challenges
along
the
way-the
disastrous
pandemic
and
everything
that
came
with
it.
Season
3,
however,
shouldn’t
take
that
long.
6)
What
can
viewers
expect
from
season
3?
Like
I
said,
Season
1
was
just
the
setup,
and
this
is
a
very
long
story-one
that
can
span
many
seasons.
From
here
on,
things
will
only
escalate.
But
escalation
doesn’t
mean
bombs
exploding
everywhere;
it’s
about
the
deepening
of
relationships
and
the
growing
absurdity
of
the
world.
Now
that
all
the
major
conflicts
are
in
place,
it’s
about
taking
those
conflicts
further
and
exploring
their
journeys.
So,
from
here
on,
tighten
your
seatbelts-it’s
going
to
be
one
long
ride.
