The team has been prepping up for the shoot with reading and rehearsals for a couple of months. Last month in December, actor Sikandar Kher had shared a photo with director Ram Madhvani during one of their workshops. Expressed his joy, he further wrote with the post, “It’s wonderful to be back with this incredible team and I’m so looking forward to starting to shoot soon. We have begun workshops for the new season and from whatever I have read so far, I’m excited to take the audiences on a thrilling new ride. This is one of the most impeccably written characters I have played. Can’t wait to bring Daulat back on screens”.

Based on Spanish original ‘Penoza’, the slick crime thriller tells the story of Aarya (Sushmita), who due to unforeseen circumstances, changes gear from a mother to a don. As a fierce lioness, she does whatever it takes to save her children and family. Fans were in for a happy surprise to see the diva turn into an action star in the show. The first season of Aarya even got a nomination at the Emmys.

In her review for Indian Express, film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “Season 2 starts off a little scattered, as the series tries to draw back for a wider picture– Sangram trying to get out of a hole, aware that he is going to be a father, a hysterical Hina accusing Aarya of perfidy, and Khurana and his daughter plotting the downfall of the woman responsible for a tragedy in their family– before zeroing in for the kill.”

While the former Miss Universe headlines the show, Aarya also features Chandrachur Singh, Sikandar Kher, Ankur Bhatia, Vikas Kumar among others.
