Much like the first season, ‘24: Season 2’ has also created buzz in the entertainment industry. Every member and artiste is waiting to witness the blockbuster unfold before their eyes. One staunch supporter of Anil Kapoor and of ‘24: Season 2’ is Aamir Khan, who is deeply impressed by the exclusive rushes of the show. Speaking about ‘24: Season 2’, Aamir Khan said, “What Anil has achieved with ‘24: Season 2’ is absolutely phenomenal. He’s the first person in the industry to decode the fine balance between film and television audience, and their viewing needs. The second season of ‘24’ highlights the hazards of biological warfare and medical terrorism, a concept that reminds me of my experience while shooting for ‘Sarfarosh’. Having played a cop and an outcast in my films, I know exactly how difficult it is to pull these roles off convincingly, and Anil has done a fabulous job. The rushes look really promising and I’m sure that the audience will support this new season of ‘24’ too!”

Divulging details about Season 2 of the show, actor and producer Anil Kapoor aka Jai Singh Rathod said, “I have said from the beginning that the real star of ‘24’ is the concept which will compel viewers to think about national sensibility and sentiment. We have devised a complex plot which when combined with Jai Singh Rathod’s volatile relationships, strong instincts and adrenalin-fuelled action, will be the perfect setting to foil a devastating terrorist plot. We are exploring different plotlines to enhance content relatability, shooting at multiple real locations outside Mumbai, and amping up the production scale to enhance the overall television viewing experience. Like last year, we have got on-board a stellar line-up of cast whose dedication towards the show has made this my best creation.”

Spoiler Alert: Here’s revealing an overview of ‘24: Season 2’
‘24: Season 2’ picks up three years after the conclusion of Season 1. As the curtains rise, it’s evident that Jai Singh Rathod (Anil Kapoor) has isolated himself from the world to become a recluse on a self-imposed exile. His dark past has made him a fugitive from justice; and while his daughter Kiran (Sapna Pabbi) supports him, his son Veer (Akshay Ajit Singh), now a part of the Intelligence Bureau, does not. The iconic clock resets as drug lord Haroon Sherchan (Sikander Kher) threatens to release a contagious airborne virus which will eradicate humanity, unless his brother Roshan (Ashish Vidyarthi) is released from prison. As radical groups and their potentially catastrophic plots unfold, the new ATU Chief – Shibani Mallick (Sakshi Tanwar) reaches out to Prime Minister Aditya Singhania (Neil Bhoopalam) to discuss preventive measures. Confident that only Jai Singh Rathod can prevent this brutality, Aditya Singhania calls upon him to ensure that reality is restored to its proper order. Setting in motion a series of events, the one-man-army Jai Singh Rathod returns to thwart every sabotage attempt in the face of political blackmail battling an unseen enemy with a personal vendetta.

‘24: Season 2’ brings together a superlative team that is supporting Jai Singh Rathod’s journey to protect the country and its citizens from destruction.
