    Yoodlee Films unleashes Season 2 of Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega

    MUMBAI: Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega Season 2, the explosive sequel to the hit action-thriller, is now streaming exclusively and for free on Amazon MX Player.

    Produced by Yoodlee Films, the film division of Saregama India Ltd, the new season raises the stakes with a gripping storyline and a fierce on-screen battle between Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff.

    Yoodlee Films and Saregama, known for their bold, new-age storytelling across languages, have earned widespread acclaim and numerous accolades worldwide, along with immense love from audiences. Hunter Season 2 is yet another powerful addition to their growing lineup of high-impact, genre-defining content.

    Directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra, Season 2 continues the story of Vikram Sinha (Suniel Shetty), a former cop drawn back into a deadly mission when he discovers his daughter, long presumed dead, is alive but in the clutches of a ruthless man known as Salesman (Jackie Shroff). Season 1 received rave reviews for Suniel Shetty’s intense performance and the edge-of-the-seat gripping storyline, and Season 2 builds on that momentum with a chase that spans from Mumbai’s underworld to the streets of Thailand, setting the stage for a high-voltage showdown.

    The series also stars Anusha Dandekar, Barkha Bisht, and Anang Desai in pivotal roles. Season 2 also features a reimagined soundtrack blending classic Bollywood with gritty modern beats, amplifying the show’s raw intensity.

    On the launch, Siddharth Anand Kumar, EVP, Saregama India Ltd, shared, “Hunter is not just an action series, it’s about emotion, loss, and what drives a man to fight against all odds. Season 2 takes it a notch higher. Fans loved Suniel Shetty’s intense avatar in Season 1 and were eagerly waiting for more. We’re thrilled to bring back this raw, thrilling story with powerhouse performers like Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff, continuing our mission at Saregama and Yoodlee Films to deliver compelling stories across languages.”

    Suniel Shetty shared, “Vikram’s journey this season is more personal than ever. He’s broken but relentless. The action is intense, but it’s the emotional stakes that truly drive him. Working with my buddy Jackie again brought back incredible energy on screen. It’s great to be back on OTT, and working with Saregama and Yoodlee again has been twice as much fun, they really are like family.”

    Jackie Shroff added, “Salesman is calm, calculative, and dangerous. Playing him was truly thrilling. It was a pleasure collaborating with the team at Saregama and Yoodlee — they welcomed me into the Hunter family with open arms and a lot of love. Facing off with Anna (Suniel) again made it even more powerful. There’s real chemistry and camaraderie between us that adds an extra spark to every scene and makes it truly whistle-worthy for the audience.”

    Hunter Season 2 is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player, available via the MX Player app, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xtreme.
