Made In Heaven Season 2: After a long wait of four years, Made in Heaven is all set to return with another season. At the trailer launch, director Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, Alankrita Srivastava, Nitya Mehra and Neeraj Ghaywan joined in to talk about the show. While Zoya spoke about how fans have been waiting for Made in Heaven Season 2 for a long time, even upset about the delay. Recalling its journey, the filmmaker said that he did not expect such a warm reception. He said that it was one of the first shows to be out of India and no one knew how it would turn out.

When this came out, we were very nervous. It’s got a loyal fan following, no matter what I post, I get asked about Made in Heaven. It’s been so long now, I am getting trolled, so I wanted to call it quits, as fans of the show are getting upset. I am grateful to them that they have kept it up and have not forgotten it. Reema Kagti echoed Zoya’s thoughts and told that it took her a long time to write it. He added that he wanted to step up his game with Made in Heaven 2 after the first season did well. The writer-director also claimed that Covid-19 created a lot of chaos during the shoot.

The producer said that the content consumption pattern has changed over time, and this has given an opportunity to storytellers to tell some more different and nuanced stories which we would find very difficult to bring in mainstream cinema. Ritesh said that he keeps urging his team to write better and do better work. “I can’t reveal spoilers with Made in Heaven season two, but there are some boundaries that are being pushed. You’re going into territory that’s conventional, you’re challenging that.

Alankrita Srivastava also shared on the platform that her endeavor with Season 2 was to be “more grand with the wedding and deeper with the characters”. He added that it is a more nuanced and layered look at the subjects that he did for the first time. It’s more poignant and funnier now. There is a relationship between traditionalization and modernization. No doubt love, family, togetherness and romance are things that are held dear by everyone. There is also much to change, understanding how women are changing and exploring how tradition meets modernity.
