Yoodlee Films unleashes Season 2 of Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega
MUMBAI: Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega Season 2, the explosive sequel to the hit action-thriller, is now streaming exclusively and for free on Amazon MX Player.
Produced by Yoodlee Films, the film division of Saregama India Ltd, the new season raises the stakes with a gripping storyline and a fierce on-screen battle between Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff.
Yoodlee Films and Saregama, known for their bold, new-age storytelling across languages, have earned widespread acclaim and numerous accolades worldwide, along with immense love from audiences. Hunter Season 2 is yet another powerful addition to their growing lineup of high-impact, genre-defining content.
Directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra, Season 2 continues the story of Vikram Sinha (Suniel Shetty), a former cop drawn back into a deadly mission when he discovers his daughter, long presumed dead, is alive but in the clutches of a ruthless man known as Salesman (Jackie Shroff). Season 1 received rave reviews for Suniel Shetty’s intense performance and the edge-of-the-seat gripping storyline, and Season 2 builds on that momentum with a chase that spans from Mumbai’s underworld to the streets of Thailand, setting the stage for a high-voltage showdown.
The series also stars Anusha Dandekar, Barkha Bisht, and Anang Desai in pivotal roles. Season 2 also features a reimagined soundtrack blending classic Bollywood with gritty modern beats, amplifying the show’s raw intensity.
On the launch, Siddharth Anand Kumar, EVP, Saregama India Ltd, shared, “Hunter is not just an action series, it’s about emotion, loss, and what drives a man to fight against all odds. Season 2 takes it a notch higher. Fans loved Suniel Shetty’s intense avatar in Season 1 and were eagerly waiting for more. We’re thrilled to bring back this raw, thrilling story with powerhouse performers like Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff, continuing our mission at Saregama and Yoodlee Films to deliver compelling stories across languages.”
Suniel Shetty shared, “Vikram’s journey this season is more personal than ever. He’s broken but relentless. The action is intense, but it’s the emotional stakes that truly drive him. Working with my buddy Jackie again brought back incredible energy on screen. It’s great to be back on OTT, and working with Saregama and Yoodlee again has been twice as much fun, they really are like family.”
Jackie Shroff added, “Salesman is calm, calculative, and dangerous. Playing him was truly thrilling. It was a pleasure collaborating with the team at Saregama and Yoodlee — they welcomed me into the Hunter family with open arms and a lot of love. Facing off with Anna (Suniel) again made it even more powerful. There’s real chemistry and camaraderie between us that adds an extra spark to every scene and makes it truly whistle-worthy for the audience.”
Hunter Season 2 is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player, available via the MX Player app, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xtreme.

Piyush Thakur steps down as Inshorts’ chief revenue officer
Former vice president and cro says exit marks a new chapter after close to a decade of building revenue and partnerships at Inshorts Group.
NOIDA: Piyush Thakur has stepped away from Inshorts Group after nearly 10 years with the company, marking the end of a long tenure that culminated in his role as chief revenue officer.
In a farewell note, Thakur said he was “turning a new page” after almost a decade at Inshorts, calling it one of the hardest professional decisions he has made. He added that his exit was not driven by uncertainty about the future, but by reflection on a long association with the company.
Thakur joined Inshorts in October 2016 as vice president and spent around seven years in the role before being elevated to chief revenue officer in April 2024, a position he held until April 2026.
He said his tenure was defined by “thousands of mornings, late nights, product debates and breakthrough moments”, as the company evolved into a large-scale digital news platform used by millions.
In his note, Thakur emphasised that Inshorts’ growth was a collective effort across teams, adding that engineers, designers, sales teams and customer support staff all contributed to building the platform. He said the company’s success was not the result of individuals but of “everyone who stayed, passed through, and left their mark”.
Before Inshorts, Thakur worked across several digital media and business development roles. At ESPN, he served as senior regional manager from October 2015 to October 2016, focusing on growth initiatives, strategic opportunities and video distribution.
At Times Internet, he worked for nearly three years, including as head of business development from April 2015 to September 2015 and chief manager from January 2013 to March 2015. His responsibilities included monetisation of mobile platforms, managing media and developer partnerships, and driving revenue across digital properties such as The Times of India and The Economic Times.
Earlier, he worked at Brandmovers as head of business development from June 2012 to June 2013, handling digital, mobile and social media marketing solutions, client development and strategic consulting. During this period, he also worked on advertising revenue, brand strategy and CRM-based solutions.
At Inshorts, Thakur’s role focused on revenue strategy, mobile and media partnerships, and growth initiatives across platforms. His profile highlights experience in mobile product management, digital business models, partner ecosystems and revenue expansion in high-growth environments.
