Zee TV is back with season 2 of fantasy thriller ‘Brahmarakshas’
MUMBAI: Zee TV is all set to whisk off its viewers into a world of fantasy with another intriguing season of its immensely successful weekend thriller, Brahmarakshas. Produced by Balaji Telefilms, the show will bring a unique and fascinating narrative inspired by the folklore about the Brahmarakshas, who has returned with twice as much power and is on a mission for immortality.
The show premieres on 22 November 2020 and will air every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm on Zee TV.
Set against the backdrop of Ambala, the show follows the journey of an ordinary young girl, Kalindi whose destiny gets entwined with the most ferocious evil force that has ever awakened. It turns out Kalindi was born under a peculiar birth star that makes her special and as a result, the Brahmarakshas needs her in order to accomplish his mission of attaining immortality. Kalindi’s only source of strength is her love for her partner, Angad. As she navigates and manoeuvres her way through the world of evil and her own ordinary life, Kalindi finds herself up for a gruelling battle to protect the people she truly cares for.
Essayed by the young and vivacious actress Nikki Sharma, Kalindi is a strong-willed 21-year old woman with a simple dream to complete her graduation and bag a dream job. Oblivious to her own beauty and charm, Kalindi does not pay heed to the attention she gets from several rich men until she falls in love with Angad, portrayed by popular television actor Pearl V. Puri. Much in contrast to Kalindi’s personality, Angad is a highly successful but also a flirtatious, rich, good-looking man whose magnetism often makes him the centre of attention amongst several women. While his perspective towards love and life changes once Kalindi enters his life, the latter’s journey takes an unexpected turn when the evil Brahmarakshas creates a roadblock in their love story. Will Kalindi be able to protect her love and her life from the evil shadows of the Brahmarakshas? Watch the show to find out!
Zee TV business head Aparna Bhosle said, “Season one of Brahmarakshas received an overwhelming response as it offered our viewers an escape into the world of fantasy and intrigue. Brahmaraskshas, as a concept, has been passed down generations in India as it is a part of our folklore. While not everyone knows enough about the Brahmarakshas, research indicates there is a natural curiosity amongst audiences to find out more as people associate the space with thrill, fear and excitement. It offers us a great canvas for fascinating storytelling and narrating an evocative good versus evil story. We’re happy to partner with Balaji Telefilms in presenting this weekend thriller that is bound to add a fresh and interesting dimension to our weekend primetime.”
