By Rajesh Ahuja

After wowing audiences with his performance in Undekhi, a web series telling the story of conflict between the power-drunk influential people who think they can get away with anything and the oppressed, who have been subjected to years of torture, actor Ankur Rathee returns to enthrall viewers in second season of the web series.

As he shoots for Undekhi 2 in the hills of Himachal Pradesh , Ankur  hopes to entertain audiences with surprising twists and  evolution in his character of Daman in the web series.



Ankur Rathee hopes to offer something new to viewers in S 2 of Undekhi 





Speaking about the new season of the series,  Ankur Rathee,  who grabbed eyeballs for his performance in City of Dreams 2 and his sparkling chemistry with Shriyam Bhagnani,  said that he will be looking to offer something new to the viewers in the new season.

 "I never imagined Season 1 would resonate so much with audiences. As we gear up for the next instalment in the series, as actors, we can't help but wonder what elements in our performances might have clicked with people the first time. We of course hope to continue in that vein, but also offer something new.

For Daman's character I often ask myself what else can I explore in him without straying outside the confines of his personality. Whenever you get a second shot at a character like this, you strive to build uncharted traits and dive deeper into existing ones. I'm always eager to plant an evolution in my characters that is both surprising and believable to audiences,'Ankur Rathee said.

The first season of Undekhi released last year and received a great response for its interesting storyline.   Ankur Rathee  played an ensemble lead role of Daman in the  web series.

Ankur Rathee said that shooting for S 2 of Undekhi, which is being shot in Himachal Pradesh, has been an exciting experience.

 "They say Himachal is the land of the Gods (Devbhumi). There's a divine current that is palpable here in the mountains and the clouds. I find every excuse to escape my hotel and trek to a waterfall or meditate in a mandir or take a dip in the Beas river. I'm also lucky to have co-actor Surya Sharma, a local of Himachal, take a group of us around to the most picturesque cafes for some dining and dancing. I'm so grateful to the people of Manali for their hospitality and inexhaustible smiles,'he said.

As an actor,  Ankur Rathee has been making his presence felt in Bollywood,  having impressed audiences with his performances in Nagesh Kukunoor's City of Dreams Season 2, Bejoy Nambiar's Taish , Anubhav Sinha’s Thappad and Four More Shots Please .

Sony LIV's Undekhi released last year and received a great response for its interesting storyline

Undekhi 2,  produced by Applause Entertainment and Edgestorm Ventures , will be streaming on SonyLIV.
