New Delhi, Sep 1: Netflix on Thursday launched the highly anticipated trailer of season two of the crime drama, “Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega”.
After drawing huge response in season 1, ‘Jamtara’ quickly became synonymous with phishing.
Based on true-crime incidents, the series brought unprecedented awareness to phishing scams in the country.
Now, coming back the cyber crime series promises to bring in how the young scamsters have innovated and diversified phishing in Jamtara, finding themselves up against a wall.
In the face of insurmountable odds, politics, and an unquenchable want of power, Sunny Mondal (Sparsh Shrivastava), his older cousin Rocky (Anshumaan Pushkar), and Gudiya (Monika Panwar) bring the fight to local politician, Brajesh Bhaan (Amit Sial).
Director Soumendra Padhi said, “Over the last few years, we’ve seen a huge uptick in the number of phishing scams.
“All of us at some point have received a call asking for our OTP number or CVV code. A number of the young people in Jamtara took advantage of unsuspecting people who weren’t tech-savvy, successfully building a hub for endless cash, with a mobile address book and quick dial.
“Season 1 saw huge success. We’ve been humbled by the response and how word spread. The ability it had to also educate whilst entertaining people has been incredible.
“This season we’ll witness our favourites fight back much like ‘David’, trying to take on Goliath (Brajesh). Innovating and sharpening their cyber fraud plans, akin to sand, falls through their hands, no matter how they try to control it. As the rivalries intensify, the frauds will as well.”
SP Dolly aka Aksha Pardasany will also be back in the new season along with new players — Seema Pahwa as Ganga Devi and promising young actor, Ravi Chahal.
Produced by Viacom18 Studios’ Tipping Point “Jamtara…” Season 2 will air on Netflix on September 23.
