Suniel Shetty returns for ‘Hunter' season 2, Jackie Shroff joins the cast
The show revolves around Shetty's Sinha going against the crime world to save his daughter. In season two, Sinha 'gets pulled into a new maze that is far more twisted faced against a villain who is charming, unflinching, and impossible to read.' according to a press release.
New Delhi, Jul 10 (PTI) Actor Suniel Shetty is all set to return as ACP Vikram Sinha in the second season of Amazon MX Player series 'Hunter', which just released a teaser.
Shroff and Shetty are friends in real life and have worked together on movies such as 'Border', 'Hulchul', 'Apna Sapna Money Money', 'Aan' and many others.
Shroff, who plays the negative character of the Salesman, said he was hooked when the role was offered to him.
'He's layered, smooth, calculated, and you never quite know what he's thinking. It was the kind of character that gives you a lot of room to play with. Season 2 packs a solid punch, but it's also deeply rooted in emotions. Sharing the screen with Anna (Shetty) again, but this time on opposite sides, was a treat. Hope our bhidus (friends) who watch us enjoy this battle of minds and morals,' Shroff said.
Directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra, the crime thriller is produced by Yoodlee Films.
'Hunter' season two also stars Anusha Dandekar and Barkha Bisht and will soon premiere on Amazon MX Player. PTI SMR BK SMR BK BK BK

Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it: Actor Surveen Chawla
Mumbai, Surveen Chawla, known for her performances in big OTT hit shows like 'Scared Games', 'Rana Naidu', 'Criminal Justice', says even though she would like to be part of films, women-centric stories are hard to come by. Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it: Actor Surveen Chawla Chawla said the industry is a work in progress when it comes to opportunities for women, both on and off screen. 'Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it. The industry is evolving where we're eventually getting into a space where you want to aspire to have equality on every aspect whether it is equality on quality or in storytelling, pay parity or on how you're treated, keeping the hierarchy aside,' the actor told PTI. Good roles are plenty in the OTT space and that's what she is currently focused on, said the actor, who has acted in films such as 'Ugly', 'Hate Story 2', and 'Parched'. "I feel like there is scarcity of such parts being written in films, which is what draws you to doing this here . If I've an opportunity to do one or five or ten such films where it satisfies my hunger that I've been able to contribute to a project in a large way then I'll do it,' Chawla added. The 40-year-old actor, who will next appear in Netflix series 'Mandala Murders', said she is seeking roles that challenge her. 'A lot of work doesn't mean there's a queue. So, from that little basket of work that you get, you try to pick the most exciting one, challenging and unique one, something that you've not done in the past. "I need to feel that joy from within when I'm waking up on a day of shooting that spring in your step that today I'm going to surmount a small little peak." Headlined by Vaani Kapoor, 'Mandala Murders' is a mythological crime-thriller. Set in the quaint, mysterious town of Charandaspur, the series will see Kapoor as a no-nonsense investigative officer, Rhea Thomas, who unravels a chilling conspiracy of ritualistic killings tied to a centuries-old secret society. It is directed by Gopi Puthran of 'Mardaani 2' fame and Manan Rawat. Chawla's co-star from the show, Vaibhav Raj Gupta of 'Gullak' fame, said the upcoming show is a 'big opportunity' for him. 'I've been waiting for three years for this trailer to come, for this show to come. I was telling myself I was like as soon as 'Gullak' is there, 'Mandala...' will reach further than that because of so many things. All the things were amazing in this show and it was a big opportunity for me to reach people because they were only seeing me as Anu for a long time. "So, it was very tough for me to break that thing because then you need somebody like Gopi sir or Manan sir who can see you doing something different. So I'm asking them, 'how did you think that I can do Vikram Singh because I couldn't see myself',' he said. 'Madala Murders', produced by YRF Entertainment, will premiere on July 25 on Netflix.

Preti Taneja, co-chair of the English PEN Translation Advisory Group and Chair of the PEN Translates x SALT Selection Panel, said that the high quality of the applications presented the panel with the best translations by new and established voices. '…and showed a commitment to publishing work that will rightly elevate a writer's – and their translator's – reputation among Anglophone readers. These projects contribute to bibliodiversity in exciting ways, as well as being of the highest literary merit. I know the finished books will go on to enthral and inspire English-language readers around the world," she said in a statement. The list of winning titles included anthologies from Ukraine, Palestine, and Latin America.

'That resonates across three anthologies compiled by Comma Press, Dedalus Books and Charco Press, which offer dispatches of the most urgent and dynamic contemporary writing from Palestine, Ukraine and across Latin America. We're proud that through them we can support dozens of experienced and emerging translators," So Mayer, English PEN Translation Advisory Co-chair and Chair of the PEN Translates Selection Panel, said.
