Fans can't keep calm as the days pass by. The wait will soon be over for fans of 'Sacred Games' as the much awaited second season of the show will stream on August 15. Raising the bar of curiosity, Netflix posted a quirky resume of Ganesh Gaitonde, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Gaitonde who is seen working as an office employee in the trailer of the second season gets quite an interesting resume by Netflix where they have described his work experience, skills and much more. Netizens couldn't stop laughing and dropped comments like: "Naukri.com suddenly crashed", while some asked how do they pay him, "How do we pay him? In laash per annum?". See it to believe it -
The Netflix India original, based on Vikram Chandra's book of the same name, centres primarily around two main characters - Mumbai Police officer Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan), who is trying to save the city from a possible attack and Gaitonde, who tips him off just before mysteriously killing himself.
The second season, which premieres on August 15, will pick up from where the first part ended. Siddiqui says it was easier to slip into the character as he had already played it for a while.
"There is no one like him in real life that I came across. But I can assume that there are people like him. Even if you dislike him, there are two-three good things in him - he loves Mumbai, he doesn't believe in religion and he trusts everyone. It is a grey character, not black entirely. According to Gaitonde, he is right and according to others, he is wrong. He maybe wrong but he is honest to what he is doing.
In season one, it was essential for Siddiqui to understand the world of Gaitonde - both internally and externally.
"Second season is more internal. Gaitonde is a complicated character. It is for the first time that I had the opportunity delve deep into a character. It was a great experience."
The actor says while the makers were confident about how the show will pan out, he did not anticipate that Gaitonde would become so popular, especially with international audiences
