MX Player has come up with the highly anticipated MX Original Series Raktanchal 2. Inspired by true events of the early 90s when the entire dynamics of UP politics was about to change, Raktanchal 2 is a 9-episodic political drama set in a backdrop of revenge, deceit, and power games.

The four main protagonists of the series are Ramanand Rai (Ashish Vidyarthi), Vijay Singh (Kranti Prakash Jha), Waseem Khan (Nikitin Dheer), and Saraswati Devi (Mahie Gill). Directed by Ritam Srivastav, it also stars Karan Patel and Soundarya Sharma in pivotal roles.

The trailer highlights how political equations are about to change as these power-hungry adversaries set their eyes on becoming the new CM. Ramanand Rai, a senior politician, has powerful competition from Waseem Khan who was one of the big mafias of Purvanchal and has now entered active politics. Sarawasti Devi, the sole woman representative of the state also wants to stake claim to the CM chair. Suddenly, one day, the media announces Vijay Singh is alive which throws everyone’s plans off track.

Nikitin Dheer said that playing Waseem has been difficult as it is a complex character. The character has multiple emotions and that compelled him to take the role. He learned dialects of UP and dressed the part as a politician.

Mahie Gill said that after playing such a powerful character on screen, she realized what it takes to be a woman in Indian politics.

Starting 11th February, all episodes will stream for free exclusively on MX Player.
