Sudip Sharma on Paatal Lok season 2
Paatal Lok was a runaway success when season 1 was launched in 2022. However for Sudip Sharma, the creation of season 2 didn’t emerge from the positives however the negatives of the primary one. “After I look again on the first season, what I see now could be a set of issues. Quite than issues that labored, the main target is on issues that didn’t work, and the explanations behind that. The concept was to not revel within the success, however to deal with the best way to make our work higher. Within the first season, you’ve excuses. However you do not have that in a second season,” he says.
In season 1, the protagonist, Hathiram Chaudhary, needed to navigate the unfamiliar setting of the upper-class world of Delhi. In season 2, he’s thrust in an much more alien setting – Nagaland. Speaking in regards to the change of surroundings, Sudip says, “It was a really aware selection as a result of we wished to up the ante. The viewers sees the character undergo a journey and overcome the obstacles that come his means.

Setting a narrative in Nagaland meant the producers, the director and the writers needed to rigorously navigate the complicated socio-political surroundings of the state, together with the insurgency. “It was behind our heads that we didn’t wish to do a disservice to this very lovely land and tradition. We shouldn’t be seen as or find yourself as invaders, cultural invaders. We did not wish to go there and applicable or condescend. The guiding pressure behind this was empathy,” says Sudip.
The filmmaker provides that it was barely simpler for him as he grew up within the North-East.

He says, “It’s as a lot a Nagaland story as a Hathiram story, and I hope the viewers see after they watch season 2 that the characters we introduce usually are not props for Hathiram to make use of and discard in his journey. They’re standalone, dwelling, respiratory characters that the viewers will be capable to relate to and perceive. Additionally it is their journey and story as a lot as Hathiram’s.”
On Hathiram Chaudhary
Within the trailer of season 2, there’s a line from Hathiram about selecting between naukri (job) and responsibility, which Sudip calls considered one of his favourites. Increasing on that, he says, “In Hathiram, I see a mirrored image of my father in some methods. Not within the apparent methods, as a result of my father will not be a violent man. I’m speaking about that worth system, notably the strategy in direction of work and responsibility, and that angle of regardless of how a lot s**t comes at you, it’s a must to be chiselling at it. That strategy is one thing I try to imbibe in my work.”
