In the book also, once Gaitonde leaves Bombay, he starts making a film called вЂњInternational KhiladiвЂќ. How did that come about, how deliberate was the self-referencing, and how much fun did you just have putting that in? It felt funny because in one just season, you've essentially revisited your own show with the excuse of revisiting a character's past.

Early in season two, you basically recreated the best season one moments via Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) making a movie about himself. Some questions and answers have been edited for brevity and clarity, and the questions have been reordered for narrative structure. The following is a transcript of Gadgets 360's conversation with Grover. Grover also revealed why certain episodes in Sacred Games 2 were so dense, and the story ideas that were still left on the table, including the subplot related to the Partition of British India - featuring Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Shahid Khan's (Ranvir Shorey) respective mothers - in the finale, which was the remnant of something much bigger originally planned, just as we felt. He also offered insights on Sacred Games' making, talking about the varying directorial styles of Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Ghaywan - the latter came onboard in season 2 to take over from showrunner Vikramaditya Motwane - and getting the former to parody the early years of his career.

With the last of them, Grover touched upon the differences between the Netflix series and Vikram Chandra's book that served as its basis.

Grover was a lot more open with every other question in a wide-ranging conversation, be it the Rajneesh movement and Wild Wild Country's rumoured influence on Sacred Games 2, the genesis of Guruji's (Pankaj Tripathi) apocalyptic plot, its connections to Hindu nationalism, and the significance of Croatia to the cult, or the many character deaths across the show's run, including why he didn't want to kill off Radhika Apte's RAW agent Anjali Mathur in the first season. Warning: major spoilers ahead for Sacred Games season 2. Asked what fans can expect from the third season, he simply said: вЂњI have no comment.вЂќ In fact, that was the only question Grover refused to answer. Who better to answer those questions than the guy who wrote it all, right? Gadgets 360 spoke with Sacred Games head writer Varun Grover to dive deep into the second season of Netflix's first Indian original series, whose future is uncertain as yet. And considering the big talking points of India's biggest TV show arguably, we imagine you had a lot of questions after you were done watching, as did we. Sacred Games 2 has been out for a while, which means viewers have had enough time to watch the show, digest its events, and discuss it with fellow fans.
