‘Sacred Games 2’ delayed because of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saif Ali Khan? Here’s the truth!

The first Netflix Original series in India – ‘Sacred Games‘ took the audience by surprise with its gripping storyline and brilliant performances by its lead actors. The first season of this popular series premiered in June last year. In September last year, it was announced that the show will be renewed for a second season.

However, since then, there has been no update about exactly when the second season will air. Some reports suggest that the delay is because of the packed schedules of its lead actors Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Others suggest that it is delayed because of the makers. When Saif was asked about the delay, this is what he said.

When Saif was questioned about the reports blaming him and Nawaz for the delay, he told Bollywood Hungama, “How absurd would it be for ‘Sacred Games’ to be delayed because we both are doing something else. Of course, both of us (Saif and Nawazuddin) are busy. But not at the cost of our commitments.”

Interestingly, a recent report in Asian Age has quoted an actor (on the condition of anonymity) as saying, “Netflix may have decided to move ahead of the release date of ‘Sacred Games 2’, but not because of the actors. All of us have completed our work. The Saif track and the Nawaz track were separately directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and Anurag Kashyap respectively to save time. If there is any delay in the release, it’s got nothing to do with the actors.”

It is also being said that Netflix apparently wants a gap between its current hit show ‘Leila’ and ‘Sacred Games’ 2. Some reports suggest that the platform is not happy with the outcome of the second season, and hence the delay. After the tremendous success of the ‘Sacred Games’, everyone has been eagerly looking forward to watching its season 2. However, with so many theories surrounding its delay, we wonder when it will be finally out.
