The narrative climaxed with Sunny and Firoz (Bhuvan Arora) evading the relentless pursuits of Task Force officer Michael Vedayagam (Vijay Sethupathi) and crime lord Mansoor Dalal (Kay Kay Menon).
Season 2 is slated to deepen this rivalry as Sunny and Firoz attempt to expand their illicit operations while dodging their pursuers. Industry insiders estimate a mid-2027 premiere on OTT, though an official calendar date is still awaited.
