Sacred Games season 2 promo: Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Ganesh Gaitonde hints at a riveting, catastrophic event

The highly-anticipated second season of Netflix’s first Indian Original show  _Sacred Games_ hints at the complete obliteration of Mumbai, as underscored in the new promo of the show. An ominous voice-over declares that even Trivedi’s life won’t be spared this time around. The teaser also warns us that everything that we know to be true about the key players in the series “is a lie”. The sophomore season will pick up from where the first season left off. Underworld gang kingpin Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) has returned to exact revenge against his perpetrators. Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) has 25 days to save his city from Gaitonde’s impending threat.  He is also seen embarking on a journey of self-discovery, joining a mysterious cult headed by Pankaj Tripathi’s Guruji, introduced in season 1 as Gaitonde’s “teesra baap” (third father). The last season ended on a nail-biting cliffhanger, as Trivedi, one of the most shrewd associates of Gaitonde, was seen tied up to a chair inside a secret room Gaitonde’s basement.
