Had given up hopes on ‘Pratigya 2’ – Pearl Grey

The past couple of days have been about one of the biggest news for the small screen where it was confirmed that one of the most popular Star Plus shows from over a decade ago, Mann Kee Awaz Pratigya is all set to finally come back with a second season.

This news got even better when it was further confirmed that the original cast of the show comprising of Anupam Shyam, Pooja Gor and Arhaan Behll are also returning for the second season even though for a brief period of time.

Now, producer Pearl Grey, who also helmed the first season opened up on how the idea of season 2 came along among other things. Talking to Tellychakkar, Grey said, “Pratigya season 2 was supposed to happen right after we wrapped the first season, but it got delayed considerably. Over the years, I kind of gave up on my hopes for Pratigya 2, however, the fans and viewers constantly demanded for the shows’ return. The re-runs during lockdown were much appreciated and that’s when the channel decided to bring the show back.”

She added, “Merely in a span of a month, the return of the show with season 2 was planned. Everything was discussed and meetings were held and rest is history.”

When asked about the pressure of expectations of viewers, she said, “Of course, there’s a lot of pressure majorly because we can’t cater the same old show to the audience after nine long years. We’ve worked to portray things differently, keeping alive the essence of the show. Since the first season was super successful, the pressure is obvious to build on the makers to take the show a notch higher. We’re hoping that the viewers will like the Pratigya season 2.”
