Sharing his thoughts on the return of Paatal Lok, Jaideep Ahlawat said: “Paatal Lok Season 1 was a milestone in my career, and the overwhelming love it received still humbles me. Hathi Ram Chaudhary wasn’t just a character, it became a mirror reflecting the complexities of society and humanity, striking a chord with millions worldwide. 


“With Season 2, we delve even deeper into Hathi Ram's psyche. This season unravels the raw, vulnerable side of him as he grapples with new adversities, uncharted moral dilemmas, and his own shadows. It's darker, grittier, and layered with human complexities that will keep audiences on the edge. The teaser and poster have already ignited intrigue, and I can’t wait for viewers to experience this thrilling chapter of his journey,” he added. 


The new season also welcomes Tillotama Shome and filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor to the cast. 


Paatal Lok Season 2 premieres on January 17 on Amazon Prime Video.
