Sacred Games teaser: Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays gangster with a God complex in Mumbai's seedy underbelly

Netflix’s first Indian original series, Sacred Games, now has a second teaser. In the 54-second long clip, you see Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) light a match and set fire to a large area in front of him as he sits on a couch and smokes a cigarette. Gaitonde then says, “Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi bhagwan hai” ("Sometimes I feel I am God"). The teaser is then swarmed with images of Mumbai, and Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte’s characters running around with guns in the city’s seedy underbelly. There are fast-moving visuals of gold bars, stacks of cash, dance bars, and drug deals. There are men dragging around dead bodies and carrying machine guns to shoot indiscriminately.
