Bandish Bandits Season 2 cast, Atul Kulkarni, Sheeba, Ritwik and others reveal how challenging it was to shoot the sequel

The second season of the Prime Video series Bandish Bandits opens in Jodhpur, three months after Radhe (Ritwik Bhowmik) has been crowned Sangeet Samrat. In the previous season, battle lines were drawn between rival gharanas represented by Radhe and his grandfather Radhemohan (Naseeruddin Shah) on the one side and Radhemohan’s estranged son Digvijay (Atul Kulkarni) on the other.

With the passing of the patriarch, the responsibility for the Rathod gharana rests on Radhe’s shoulders. Radhe is also contending with new and confusing feelings after Tammana (Shreya Chaudhry) walks away from their fusion band Bandish Bandits, and her relationship with him, to find her own voice.

Season two fittingly takes forward the transformation of these two young singers – one a disciplined, small-town Hindustani classical singer and the other an urban pop star. In the new eight-part edition, conflicts continue – between tradition and modernity, and the two gharanas.
