It's very exciting.

We pulled off a great season one and we will be happy to do it another time.” While the two parties are reportedly in discussions, Siddiqi’s comments make it clear that a second season has not yet received an official greenlight.

His response, however, suggests that the possibility of returning to the world of The Ba**ds of Bollywood* remains open.
